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.

You can go into the water there.

This beautiful waterfall invites you to swim and linger. There is a beautifully landscaped path and various seating options. The access is not that easy to find (Komoot leads us through fenced Lulo plantations... there was a 2nd way signposted but not marked in Komoot), on wet days it is also a bit slippery to walk. But the visit is definitely worth its entrance fee of 5000 COP (May 2023).

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.
