The best preserved underground tombs can be found a twenty minutes uphill walk from the museum. The decorations of the tombs at Alto de Segovia are impressive.
Before our eyes, we saw an underground burial chamber hacked out in the volcanic rock, with colourful geometrical figures painted on the walls and the columns. On the top side of the columns, we saw faces engraved. The figures on the wall were painted in several colours: white, black, red, and ochre. In many of the tombs at Alto de Segovia, these wall paintings have survived the many centuries since they were made remarkably well. The tombs at Alto de Segovia are the only ones at Tierradentro that are lit. After we had seen the first tomb, we visited several others, and were surprised to find that every tomb was unique.
