Parque Arqueológico De San Agustin — Attraction in Huila

The archaeological statues themselves are fascinating, and it's great most have been returned to their resting place, although many are randomly scattered. However, the admission price for international tourists is about double, and it is just not justified. I support that international tourists should pay more, but not that much! Despite what you might think, most of us really aren't that wealthy! I wouldn't pay that much back in the UK. The museum was okay and all of the primary signs were bilingual, but that was it, not even the entry passport was bilingual. Also there was a fraction of the information about the statues that I had read in books which was strange? Minimal effort to cater for tourists. None of the statues had any sort of narrative, as if you had to memorize everything you read in the museum. It's a large park and signage and the map provided were poor. A man shouted at me telling me not to go down a path I was headed towards, turns out it was to one of the sites and I should've gone down. Some of the paths on the map no longer existed. I ended walking back on myself 2 or 3 times. Just felt exhausted and ripped off by the end of it. Shame so much land has been cleared unnecessarily for the park, so much sparse grassland. Also I wonder what fate these statues have, left half exposed to...

Just an incredible place full of tombs and statues set in a mainly jungle setting that requires quite a bit of hiking to see everything but the rewards are rich indeed. Like may people I suspect, I only knew about this place vaguely but was hugely impressed on my visit. The numerous statues are in fantastic shape considering the age of them, probably because they were buried for so long. I recommend hiring one of the older local guides as they can relate so much history and point out so many features you would most likely miss were you to go on your own. Allow 3 to 4 hours to visit to get the most out of the park. Entrance fees are well worth it and also cover additional sites that are also worth visiting but you'll likely need to do those on a tour if you don't have...

A great combination of three archeological parks in San Agustin for the ones that wants to now about the southern history of Colombia.

The walk is easy for all the people, kids, elders, handicapped people, and for the wheelchairs it is maybe a little bit challenging but with a bit of effort you they can do it.

There’s a guide in San Agustin that his name is Oscar Humberto Fernandez, if you want to have more and better information of the place, of San Agustin and it’s surroundings please...
