What colombian temples can you visit virtually during Holy Week?

For us Latin Americans, there is a traditional religious culture around Holy Week, and this is the Visit to the Seven Temples that begins on Thursday and ends on Friday. However, the health crisis caused by COVID-19 has meant that this 2021 we remain in our homes and we cannot carry out the usual activities.
