Las Lajas Sanctuary - An Amazing Sight

image credit: Boris G

Las Lajas Sanctuary is a basilica church located in the southern Colombian Department of Nariño and built inside the canyon of the Guáitara River. Las Lajas Sanctuary is practically hanging over the abyss and this is one reason it is considered the most beautiful church in Colombia.

It took 33 years (between 1916 and 1949) to finish the present church and it was financed by local churchgoers. But, if you're actually in front of her you can see that all those years were not in vain, as the result really seems to take you to another world.
