#Colombia# I have seen many churches along this road, but this one is really different. Las Rajas Cathedral is located in southwest Colombia, on the outskirts of the border town of Ipiales. It is a white Gothic building and the only church in the world built in the canyon, 100 meters above the bottom of the canyon, high in the deep canyon, the mountain torrent flowed from under the bridge, quite magnificent. I personally think the church can be called one of the best church buildings in the world. And around this church from time to time you can see new people in wedding dresses taking pictures here, sometimes the most romantic moment is you and I record the time we have passed together... [Travel Tips] 1. Located in southwest Colombia, Located on the outskirts of the border town of Ipiales. 2. Best viewing point: high observation deck on the hilltop opposite the church, this is the best place to enjoy the cathedral

    A building on the creek between the mountains, which is like a swan castle, is naturally linked to a double arched bridge next to it. Although the church itself is designed in the canyon, the black and white exterior walls are still awe-inspiring during the day, with low spires and steeples carved with round embroidery and fan-shaped structures in the shape of arches at the bottom. The evening laser show is colorful and makes the building look like a different style.

    The only church in the world built in the canyon, in the small town of Ipiales on the border of Colombia, is a small town on the border of Colombia. The most famous is the church built in the canyon. This white gothic church was built in 1926 and is the most beautiful church in Colombia. The church stands on the deep canyon, about 100 meters higher than the bottom of the canyon, connected by a bridge on both sides of the canyon, the view is very spectacular, it is difficult to imagine how this beautiful building was pulled up more than 100 years ago by pure manpower, And keep it brick by brick in the wind and rain and in the canyon torrent. Legend has it that an Indian mother walked to the cathedral of Las Rajas with her deaf and dumb daughter on her back, and when she felt a little tired to sit on the stone and rest, her daughter suddenly spoke and said that she saw the Virgin manifest in a stone in a cave. The main altar of the church connects the mountain, and the statue of the Virgin is set on the stone that the legend says the Virgin is manifested. The church is magnificent, the sun shines through the glass windows on both sides, and the innermost image of the Virgin is closely connected to the mountain, with a natural stateliness. Every year, many pilgrims from all over the world make the pilgrimage. Will you see a different church a short distance away? On the bridge, you can see the opposite waterfall with an observation deck. You can take a panoramic view of the church and the canyon along the plank road. You can see a hydropower station. There is a plank road behind the hydropower station. Walk about 200 meters, you can take a panoramic transportation method: From the city to the entrance of the scenic spot about 20 yuan business hours: 9:00-18:00 Tickets: Free Las Rajas Church
