Hostel Hacienda Anacaona, San Agustin, Colombia
Our Tucan Tour is a full load, 16 people, of which several are men (Whew!). Generally a well travelled, older group, which suits us just fine. A total of 5 Canadians.
Yesterday was a travel day, taking a flight from Bogota to the town of Pitolito, then an hours drive to the town of San Agustin. We have a room at the beautiful Hacienda Anacaona, just outside of town.
Today, we spent the bulk of the day on a tour of the Parque Arqueologico Nacional, a surprisingly extensive set of monolithic rock sculptures, originally buried along with the Mesitas, a people who lived in this area some 3000 to 5000 years ago. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. The site contains the largest collection of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in Latin America and is considered the world's largest necropolis. See, who says this blog is not educational?
The guide was great and it was a very full day. A lot of walking. The weather has been very comfortable, although it cools off a bit much at night. Our power was out from sometime last night to sometime this afternoon, which meant no hot showers this morning.
Tomorrow we will be moving on to the town of Popayan, where the adventure will continue.
