While the Huila district is home to some smaller Colombian towns, the flavors are still mighty. The culinary scene offers some delicious, hearty cuisine typical of the Andean region. Rich stews, rice dishes, and warming comfort foods are all a highlight in this region. But there are also some amazing global culinary options to try while traveling through Huila depending on what you’re craving.
This small mountain town has a very welcoming community of locals who will make your stay even more enjoyable. Located in the heart of the Andes, San Agustín’s most alluring feature is the archaeological sites, most notably the UNESCO-listed San Agustín Archaeological Park. Home to the mysterious ceremonial sites from an elusive, pre-Colombian civilization, the statues and structures here continue to awe travelers.
The Magdalena, Colombia’s longest river, runs close to San Agustín and invites daring travelers to brave its waters. Rafting down this massive waterway has become one of the most popular non-archeological excursions in San Agustín. You will find everything from class 2 rapids for beginners to class 5 rapids for expert navigators. While you’re visiting be sure to also try some rock climbing or mountain biking in Villa de Leyva.
Trekking through this region is another fantastic way to see more of the rugged Andean terrain. If you’re up for a challenge, you can attempt the 3-day hike to the sacred Laguna de Magdalena, where the Magdalena begins. This trek isn’t for the faint of heart, but walking through the misty, isolated moorland of the Paramo de Las Papas makes the grueling terrain worth every step.
