San Agustin in Southern Colombia seems to be on the list of every visitor. We marked it way back as a top destination as well as another archeological site in Tierradentro, but gave up on the second, “underground” part when hearing reports of recent criminal activity in that region.
We reached San Agustin in the middle of April, after a two-day drive from the Tatacoa Desert.

The town itself doesn’t have much to offer. We might be spoiled with all the cute and colorful pueblos we encountered north of here.
It was still nice to walk to town from our free camping spot, shop for produce at the market or Ara grocery store, go out for a couple of meals, and watch the scene from a park bench. The main reason we spent a handful of days here was to do online work.
