Santuario de las Lajas, Colombia
The Las Lajas sanctuary is a basilica church that is situated inside a canyon of the Guaitara River in southern Colombia. The sanctuary has a spectacular bridge that connects the church to the other side of the canyon, while a shrine to the Virgin Mary has made Las Lajas both a popular pilgrimage and tourist location.
