El Tablón, La Chaquira, La Pelota, and El Purutal
In the hills around San Agustín are these four smaller archaeological sites that lack road access and are rather close to each other. While walking to each is possible with a good map, nearly everyone that visits these sites does so on a horseback-riding tour. Each site is unique. La Chaquira, at the edge of a gorge overlooking the Magdalena, features a bas-relief sculpted in rock, while El Purutal has two statues that still have much of their original pigment. There are no facilities at any of these sites, so plan accordingly.
