Huila Roadtrip: The Forgotten Culture and an Inter-Andean Desert

This time let us take you deep inside the country, in the south area just where the Andes is divided in three enormous chains of mountains in Colombia because of the existence of big rivers like Magdalena and Cauca, giving birth to unique landscapes and cultures.

We are going to visit one of the rarest places deep inside the Andes, just aside of the mighty Magdalena river, the so Called Tatacoa desert, with a surface of 330 square kilometers, marks a vast area that in reality geographically is not a desert, is a Tropical dry forest, that in the end is so dry and arid that looks like a desert.

Come and see the strange forms that has been shaped in the earth by the wind and the water while enjoying a very clear skies night to observe the stars.

Alongside the Magdalena river and going more to the south we will visit the town of San Agustin, up in the mountains where the Andes is only one big massif in Colombia, we will be amazed and surprised by the arqueological sites and statues that remain as mute witnesses of a lost civilization that nobody even knows its name, and that only in the last decades due to some scientist and their research we can know at least some hints that takes us to imagine how they lived and who they were, but what we now is that they adored the river as the mother that gives life to this vast land that today is Called Colombia.

Come, and do not miss this adventure!
