The archaeological park of San Augustin contains the most stone sculptures. Enormous tombs, demons carved from volcanic rock, and an enigmatic cult spring bear witness to a centuries-old advanced civilization amidst lush green vegetation.

Much remains unexplored, but there are already many clues about the culture of that time.

Just as mystical as the story of the stone figures and tombs in the Archaeological Park is the story of the Lavaplatta spring with its figures, ornaments and water basins.

The highest point of the archaeological site with a wonderful view of the Cordilleras. If you don't want to rest up the steep steps in the restaurants, you can simply take a nap in the well-kept green.

The San Agustín Archaeological Park (Spanish: Parque Arqueológico de San Agustín) is a large archaeological area located near the town of San Agustín in Huila Department in Colombia. The park contains the largest collection of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in Latin America and is considered the world's largest necropolis. Belonging to San Agustin culture, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. The dates of the statues are uncertain, but they are believed to have been carved between 5–400 AD. The origin of the carvers remains a mystery, as the site is largely unexcavated.

After the dusty bike ride from Villavieja past the red Tatacoa to the gray, the pool and kiosk invite you to take a refreshing dip and rest. It feels like an oasis in the desert.

The Tatacoa Desert (Spanish: Desierto de la Tatacoa) is an approximately 330 km² desert in Colombia. It is located in the northern part of the Departamento del Huila in the valley of the Río Magdalena in the municipality of Villavieja, about 40 km north of the department capital Neiva and only about 3° north of the equator. The average temperature is over 28 °C. The Tatacoa Desert owes its existence to the special geographic location between the two mountain ranges of the Central and Eastern Cordillera in a dry basin at the foot of the Eastern Cordillera. As a result, it lies in the double rain shadow and usually remains low in precipitation even in the rainy season. Due to the high average temperature, the amount of precipitation of around 1000 mm per year is not sufficient to compensate for evaporation. The name Tatacoa comes from a species of snake originally native to the desert but now extinct. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatacoa-W%C3%BCste
