San Agustín Statuette

Near San Agustin, Colombia, a pre-Incan culture left many carved statues in and near their tombs and sacred places. Many of the statues depict a rather blood-thirsty deity. An hour walk from town brings one to a site of excavated tombs and a display of statues and statuettes in a forest reserve trail.
