The afternoon is devoted to a visit to the archaeological sites of La Chaquira and El Tablon. The sculptures, with their softened shapes and similarities to the landscape, inspire an unfamiliar sensation, somewhere between curiosity and fascination. San Augustin eludes any definitive archaeological classification. Research is still ongoing, complementing or contradicting each other, making this a unique, bewitching and mysterious place.

Departure for Popayán in the morning. On the way, visit the Strait of Magdalena, Colombia's longest river, only one metre wide.
