A very pleasant excursions from San Agustín is to visit the outlying archeological sites and the surrounding nature on horseback.
We continued riding to La Pelota, where more statues are standing. One of them representing a bird, probably an eagle or owl, with a serpent in its beak. While it started to rain, we ran to the nearby site of El Purutal. Here, we found royal tombs with the only surviving coloured statues of the region. Impressive ones: showing off their teeth, and while the statue of the queen was holding an infant, the king had apparently already sacrificed the poor child. It gave their smiles a grim expression. While looking at the undulating landscape around us, we wondered how many more statues are still lying somewhere under the earth. From here, we rode back through the lovely landscape, over paths that had become slippery because of the rain, towards the Archeological Park of San Agustín, where we unfortunately had to say goodbye to our dear horses.
