San Agustín sculptures & motorcycle day

The San Agustín Archeological Park was the main reason I wanted to visit San Agustín and it did not disappoint. After a wicked and laugh-filled 11km rafting run down the Rio Magdalena in the morning, I was dropped off at my hotel. After resting for a bit, I walked up to the park, and even though it was the weekend, there were few visitors, which made for a lovely, peaceful time. I'm going to be a bit lazy and add a link to a National Geographic site if you're interested in these fascinating sculptures, burial mounds, and the pre-hispanic people who make them:

No matter, I had such a blast off-roading on the little Honda 200. Wheeeeee!Read more
