I often find myself reminiscing about this trip to Colombia, and what inevitably comes up are the days spent in San Agustín in the southwest. I was sick, for about five days, unable to do much but keep some liquid in me, and do the best I could to see this incredible archaeological site. You can read about the site here

This was definitely the highlight for me of the trip, alongside the Tatacoa desert, which I will also post at this late date. If you go to Colombia, make the effort to get to San Agustín. In some ways the journey was the story, but I will need a few glasses of wine to tell it with appropriate flair, so for now, here 's some pics.
