Tierradentro by Lucio Gorla

[visited in April 2022]

Based in the town of San Andrés de Pisimbalá, it is quite easy to reach all the sites indicated as WHS. A two-day ticket for the entire archaeological area is on sale and can be purchased at the Museum located at the entrance to the Parque Arqueológico Nacional de Tierradentro, which can be reached on foot starting from the town along an unpaved road downhill.

The park and the indicated sites describe a circle at the highest point of which there is the town, at the lowest instead the museum.
Therefore, the ideal is to have two days:
- in the first visit the Alto de Segovia, Alto del Duende and El Tablon starting from the Museum and arriving in the town of San Andrés de Pisimbalá
- in the second Alto de San Andres and Alto del Aguacate starting from the town and arriving at the museum (I walked it in reverse order but the climb from the museum to Alto del Aguacate is quite challenging especially if you find yourself in the middle of a sudden downpour, and it's not uncommon)

Of the area, Alto de Segovia is certainly the best preserved one, with the best and most illuminated tombs. Alto del Aguacate the most impressive, in my opinion.

In addition to the beautiful archaeological area, I would like to point out the beautiful landscapes with truly remarkable flora.
