While the subterranean tombs are certainly worth the climb up, the sweeping views from the mountain ridge as well as the way up itself, are more reasons to visit El Aguacate.
The plans for our visit to Tierradentro had to be changed because of the bad weather, and we ended up staying one day longer than we had expected, mostly to visit El Aguacate. While the other sites of Tierradentro are all within short distance from San Andrés de Pisimbalá, El Aguacate involves a hike up the mountain ridge towering a few hundred metres above the village. After our lovely horseback riding experience at San Agustín, we tried to hire horses again. But locals soon told us that would not be advisable, as the path up would be very muddy after all the recent rain. Instead, we contracted a guide, and when we tried to buy a torch, the shopkeeper actually gave his own torch, to be returned the next day. Another example of the hospitality of the Colombians, who seem to be doing what they can to accomodate the visitor.
