This article recommends three unusual places to visit in Colombia: 1) The Tequendama Falls Museum, a cliffside building originally intended to be a hotel but now abandoned and dedicated to the natural world. 2) Jaime Duque Park, a bizarre theme park near Bogota containing replicas of ancient wonders and a zoo. 3) The Catedral de Sal de Zipaquira, a cathedral carved entirely out of salt underneath the town of Zipaquira that can accommodate up to 10,000 people.

A partner with Wireless Zone, headquartered in New York

multimillion-dollar ventures since earning his GED. In his
leisure time, Jonah Engler enjoys travelling, recently
venturing to Colombia in South America.
For visitors to this diverse nation, here are three slightly
strange and unusual destinations to visit:
1. Tequendama Falls Museum. Located toward the center
of the country, to the southwest of Bogota, lies this
incredible cliffside museum. Intended to become an
extravagant hotel during the 1950s, construction was
never completed, and for many years, the breathtaking
building was left abandoned. Today it is an incredibly
picturesque destination, dedicated to the natural world.

2. Jaime Duque Park. Only a 30-minute trip northeast
from Bogota, the town of Tocancipa is home to this
bizarre theme park, complete with full-scale replicas of
the seven wonders of the ancient world, including the
Egyptian pyramids and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
It also contains a full-scale Taj Mahal, a zoo, a mirror
maze, and a playground of life-sized dinosaurs. All
proceeds are donated to various charitable causes.
3. Catedral de Sal de Zipaquira. Underneath the town of
Zipaquira sits a cathedral carved entirely out of salt, with
construction beginning in 1950. For more than 35 years,
the cathedral was in working order, until it was shut
down due to safety concerns. A year after its closure, a
new cathedral was built even deeper into the earth that
today can accommodate up to 10,000 people.
