The salt mines of Nemocon are one of those hidden treasures in the country that are simply waiting to be explored. Tourism hasn't yet gotten here, which has allowed it to remain as the untouched jewel it is today.
You'll see salt formations of more than 40 years, including a salt crystal in the shape of a heart, considered the largest in the world. It is known as "the heart of Colombia".
