The Zipaquira Salt Cathedral in the Cundinamarca department will soon be worth more than its weight in salt. The 200 meters underground church, 49 kilometers north of Bogota, will add a salt spa to its other attractions, El Colombiano reported Tuesday.

Not content with the 800,000 visitors that the church -- built inside a salt mine -- receives every year, the mayor of Zipaquira, Jorge Enrique Gonzalez decided to expand the church's facilities.
