In the hills surrounding the small Colombian town of San Agustin, there are the most remarkable remnants of a now extinct indigenous culture. Sometime between the first century AD and the eighth, they built hundreds of statues out of volcanic rock and placed them at burial sites.
There are statues of gods, and mythical creatures, and animals, and caricatured humans, some just over a foot tall, others tower at 13 feet.
It is an incredible archaeological site, and well worth the incredibly bumpy six hour bus ride along dirt roads to get there.
