This area, too, bears the hallmarks of the enigmatic San Agustín culture, with discoveries of monolithic sculptures and remnants of what seems to be an ancient children’s burial ground. Our excursion takes us to this Archaeological Park, a 40-minute trek from the village, and for those interested, there’s an option to extend the trip by an additional 25 minutes on foot to witness the small yet enchanting Gotas de Navidad waterfall.
