A very pleasant excursions from San Agustín is to visit the outlying archeological sites and the surrounding nature on horseback.
On a sunny morning, we walked to the main square of San Agustín and mounted the horses that were waiting for us. Fortunately, I had asked for a tame one: my Colombian companion, an experienced horse rider, had asked for a good horse and indeed, before I knew it, we were galloping through the streets of the attractive colonial town. While my horse did not show to be a leader, it certainly was attached to her valient horse and followed it wherever it went. Our first stop was El Tablón. Five statues under a roof, standing straight, and presumably dedicated to a moon deity. Our guide explained the history of the slabs, how they had been carved out of rock and put right here, claiming that these statues were several thousands of years old - something I could not believe. We soon realized that there must be many more such statues hidden in the ground: the ones we saw now, as well as those we would see later that day, had almost all been found by coincidence, mostly by farmers.
