Local Coffee Farm & Archaeological Horseback-Riding (Pelota, Purutal, Tablón, Chaquira))

• Finca La Cabaña

  4 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  After a delicious breakfast, we will have a driver waiting for us. He will bring us to a local coffee-farm. Coffee is an essential product for both the economy of San Agustín and for other towns in this region, where the best specialty coffees in Colombia are currently produced. On this tour, we will be able to visit an organic coffee farm where we can learn about the bean production process in a very authentic way, from the seed and sowing, until obtaining the final product. Our guide will be Luis Alejandro, owner of Finca La Cabaña, who proudly and humbly shows us the success of his work and that of his father, who began growing coffee here over more than 50 years ago. At the end of the tour, Luis will invite us to enjoy some of his fantastic specialty coffees with all our senses. This tour can be adjusted to your preferences in terms of timing and content. Afterwards we will go to a local restaurant having a typical lunch before starting our horseback-riding tour.

• La Pelota - Estatuas A Color

  1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  Today we can enjoy the most famous horseback-riding of San Agustín led by an expert local guide who will take us through a circuit that runs through four archaeological sites: we will cross the rural area of the town (around 40 minutes) to arrive first at La Pelota, where we can see three statues located very close from where they were originally found, as well as vestiges of an original mound. (If you prefere doing it by car, walking or bike please let us know).

• El Purutal

  40 minsAdmission Ticket Included

  A few meters from there is El Purutal, where there are four more statues of which two still retain the original coloration that is believed to have been characteristic to many other monoliths in the area.

• El Tablon

  50 minsAdmission Ticket Included

  Following this, we will continue to El Tablón, an archaeological site where five statues of approximately 2 meters classified as female are exhibited, and where there is a small ethnographic museum organized by the residents of El Tablón township (this will only be visited, if open that day). To get to El Tablón we will walk less than 15 minutes.

• La Chaqiura

  1 hours 50 minsAdmission Ticket Included

  We will then continue to La Chaquira, an archaeological site where there are different human and animal figures carved into volcanic stone that look towards the impressive Magdalena river canyon, one of the most spectacular views that can be seen in San Agustín. To get to La Chaquira we will descend a hill on foot in less than half an hour, although the ascent back takes about 1 hour. After that we will go back to the town or selected hotel to end our adventure.
