San Agustin Trips & Tours

Lose yourself in a centuries-old mystery in the presence of Colombia's stone guardians.
Nestled below the Andes in the southern reaches of Colombia, San Agustín is a town shrouded in mystery. Renowned for its sprawling archaeological park, San Agustín is home to a collection of volcanic stone statues and tombs that date back to a pre-Colombian civilisation whose origin - and reason for demise - remains unknown. Surrounded by hills and flowing rivers, San Agustín's allure is as much about natural beauty as it is about ancient wonders, and there's plenty of both!
