Cerro Tusa, Pyramid-shaped mountain in Venecia, Antioquia, Colombia

Cerro Tusa is a pyramid-shaped mountain in Antioquia that stands out distinctly from the surrounding landscape. The terrain divides into three sections as you climb: open paths, forested areas, and mixed ground with varying features.

The Zenufaná people settled near this mountain before colonial times, leaving traces of their presence in the area. Their early settlements shaped the region's history and identity.

At the north base of Cerro Tusa stands a stone with nine carved steps leading to a platform, known in local oral tradition as the "Piedra de los sacrificios" or "Altar de ofrendas". From it, a megalith emerging from the forest is said to show a human face called "La Cara de la Diosa" or "La Cara de la India". The town celebrates the mountain with festivities in the first days of July.

Good footwear and endurance are essential, as the path grows steep and passes through different ground types. Starting early in the day gives you enough daylight for both the climb and descent.
