San Augustin

Relics from Colombia’s most famous archaeological site, San Agustín, near the headwaters of the Magdalena River, attest to this mixing of peoples and cultures. The relics include large stone statues of human figures, many with grotesque expressions. Different observers have linked these figures to cultural influences emanating from the Andes Mountains to the south, the Amazon basin to the east, and even Mesoamerica to the north. Archaeological understanding of San Agustín, like that of much of Colombia’s pre-European past, is limited. But it appears that the site was occupied by a succession of different peoples and served as a cultural center as early as 2,300 years ago.

Classified in the World Heritage List of UNESCO, this vast park, the largest one of the precolumbian America, opens the door to an unknown civilization which would have bloomed between the 6th century B.C and 12th A.D.

The archeologic site of San Augustin can be discovered by walk, by horse, or even by jeep extended on a territory of 2000 km2, for an altitude of only 1800 meters, with snow covering the top.
