San Agustin A small town way out in the middle of nowhere. We are here to check out some ancient burial grounds. San Agustin attracted a mysterious group of people who came here to bury their dead (3300 BC). They left behind hundreds of freestanding monumental statues carved in stone next to the tombs of tribal elders.
It is a very beautiful area rolling hills, rivers and gorges. The first day we rented horses to go check out some of the tombs through out the country side. The second day we got a Jeep and a guide to take us out to some of the farther sites. We had another great hostel here to El Maco (www.elmaco.ch) very rustic and friendly.
We are doing great, having a lot of fun. We are going to start making our way to Ecuador now.
Cheers
Tim & Meagan
