San Agustin archeological park, Archaeological park in Huila Department, Colombia.

The park contains over 130 monumental stone statues and burial sites spread across 50 square kilometers along the Magdalena River basin.

Between 100 BC and 800 AD, indigenous communities created massive stone sculptures and constructed ceremonial centers throughout this mountainous region.

The stone figures combine human and animal characteristics, representing deities and ancestral figures central to pre-Columbian religious practices.

Visitors can access multiple archaeological zones through marked trails, with guided tours available from the main entrance near San Agustin town.

The necropolis includes the Lavapatas site, where water channels flow through carved stone surfaces containing religious symbols and geometric patterns.
