Our three day stay in the lovely town of San Agustin was amazing. The archaeological treasures found around this little town were fascinating. Our consultant, Diego Pulido, organised this tour for us. Everything went smoothly, from pickup and drop off at the bus station and again when we returned to Bogotá. Our guide for the time we were in San Agustin was Natanael Tejada, was very knowledgeable about the sites and San Agustin. The archaeological sites were in lovely, natural settings and were well kept.
Our tour also included excursions to Salto del Mortino, Estrecho del Rio Magdalena and a boutique coffee farm, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The owner, whose name escapes me, was most hospitable and polite, was trying to keep forgotten traditional Colombian food in their culture. He was inspirational. He allowed us to try his organic produce. This experience, along with the archaeological sites were our highlights of this amazing three day experience.
