Things to see & do in San Agustín
But while you’ll enjoy a guided tour of the site in the company of an expert local guide – who’ll share stories of myths, mystery and human sacrifices – a visit to San Agustín is much more than a dive into Colombian ancient culture. Explore the shaded plazas and cobbled streets of the eponymous colonial town tucked next to the archaeological park, visit sugar cane and coffee plantations or hike and horse-ride among verdant valleys, waterfalls and pounding rivers.

San Agustín Archaelogical Park
Getting active in San Agustín
The deep canyons and lush forests surrounding the small town of San Agustín and the Archaeological Park call out for more active adventures. And to visit this part of Colombia, and only spend your time immersed in its ancient history is to do a disservice to what else this area has to offer. Hikes and horse-rides can take you past sugar cane and coffee plantations – some of which will open their doors to visitors keen to learn more about these traditional Colombian industries – or to the Magdalena River Gorge, where huge carved figures can be seen in the rocks high above the thundering water below. If you’d prefer not to hike then jeep tours can be arranged. Or, if you’ve not satisfied your adrenaline fix, then white water rafting is also an option on the Magdalena River.The small town of San Agustín is the perfect antidote to a day of excitement, with colonial houses, quiet cobbled streets and shady plazas.

Practicalities
Best time to visit San Agustín
May to July, and October to early December can get soggy – but the rain eases off in between, so if you’re planning a trip to Colombia to tie in with European school vacations then August can be a good option.
