Accommodation and others in San Agustin in Colombia
Located in southwestern Colombia, St. Augustine is famous for being one of the bases used to visit the large number of pre-Columbian sculptures that are in the valleys of the area.
It is a quite tiny, as little as 30,000 inhabitants, with a temperature quite pleasant throughout the year, around 20 degrees and half-lives, especially in tourism revenues and the ecological and archaeological culture and the work of their land green.
The people are exceptionally friendly, as usual throughout the country “and you find many tips on San Agustin Archaeological Park and other tourist options in talks with the premises without having to go head to travel agencies that populate the streets adjacent to the town square. Once you have done you a general idea of the area and what options you want to do, and will be ready to grope prices for agencies.
As for lodging, but I think there is a small area in the hotel, I stayed in a family house. Not that I would see any guide or go with references to another person, but got out of the rickety van that brought us from Popayan bounced by more than 7 hours, the man who picked us up at the cross roads to take us to St. Augustine said the option. I went with an English couple who also were eager to go stumbling around looking for accommodation for the people-well-so I accept it rained and we ended up in the house of Louis.
Luis is a family man and lives at home with his wife, daughter and grandmother. The rooms are very new and well cared for and the price-flexible, so I could see later-is very acceptable for mid-season, 14,000 pesos a night. Although he had paid less in some places here have private bathroom and television and the truth is that the family is good people, so I decided to spend the two nights I stayed there.
The income of this type are important to many families in the area, so I would advise you that I will stay this way rather than do more established hotels. Remember that then you can help these people and it will wear you an exquisite and good conversations about the places and people you meet.
To visit around the village you can choose to do so on foot, horseback or by jeep. For the latter two will inform you of prices and so on-as I said-in the tourist offices, but usually families that host tourists usually work with specific guidelines and you will comment on the possibility of doing with them.
Many people go to St. Augustine to relax because not only is the archaeological theme but is located in a beautiful area that allows taking it and enjoying tranquility of nature and peopling.
I stayed there a couple of nights and during the third bus trip to Bogota. I discuss in the next on the lively capital city.
