Build on a bridge over a deep gorge with nearby waterfalls plunging into the river far below, this neo-Gothic church surely is an impressive sight from the distant. A closer look though reveals religious kitsch that pilgrim destinations sometime suffer from, like souvenir stands, wood lookalike cement fence and odd picnic tables. The church itself though is beautiful and the alter inside is formed from the bare rock face, where the image of Virgin Mary apparently have appeared. Despite the junk (well, it is not that bad) it is definitely worth doing the short side trip to here from Ipiales.
