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.
In several caves at El Aguacate, we saw the wall of the tomb divided in three: an upper part with moons, or suns, a line dividing the upper world with the regular one, and on the lower part, animals, or human figures. It was remarkable how some of the figures still had vivid colours, while others were already faded. It was perhaps even more remarkable, that the protection of these subterranean tombs is so poorly done. In some cases, getting into the hole in the ground was not easy. We did not visit all over seventy tombs, but walked all the way to the last tomb. Suddenly, the clouds started to clear, and the view opened up. Valleys hitherto hidden by the clouds were now stretching out into the distance, we saw Inzá and San Andrés de Pisimbalá, the sun was coming out, and when we started to descend the 2,100 metre high mountain, the weather started to be warmer and nicer than before.
