National Archaeological Park of Tierradentro
The park includes monumental statues of human figures and contains many hypogea dating from the 6th to 10th centuries. These huge underground tombs (some death chambers are up to 12 m wide) are decorated with motifs that reproduce the internal decor of homes of the period. They bear witness to the social complexity and cultural wealth of a pre- Hispanic society in the northern Andes.
San Agustín archeological Park
In a wild, spectacular landscape stands the largest group of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in South America. Gods and mythical animals are skilfully represented in styles ranging from abstraction to realism. These works of art display the creativity and imagination of a north Andean culture that flourished from the 1st to the 8th century.
