Overview
San Agustín is a town in the Andes Mountains of western Colombia. It’s known for its proximity to the San Agustín Archaeological Park, home to numerous pre-Columbian remains spread over several sites.
Description
Carved volcanic stone figures and tombs litter the Forest of Statues, amid native trees and flowers. Nearby, the Lavapatas Spring’s rock bed is scored with ceremonial water channels and reptilian shapes. This small, attractive colonial town basks in refreshing, springlike weather year-round and is the gateway to one of the most important pre-Columbian archaeological sites on the continent.
