Lucio Gorla Profile

Hi, I'm Lucio, 58 years old from Milan, Italy, EU.


Independent traveler for several years, I often travel alone.
In choosing destinations and itineraries, I adopted the list of world heritage sites as my most reliable guide and I really like discovering their beauties and how much interesting they hide.

My next travel plans:

  • Chile and Argentina (November/December)
  • Guatemala, Honduras and Belize (April)

Tierradentro

Lucio Gorla Italy - 10-Aug-22

Tierradentro

[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

San Agustín

Lucio Gorla Italy - 10-Aug-22

San Agustín

[visited in April 2022]

Based in the town of San Agustín, it is quite easy to reach the three 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 San Agustin Archaeological Park, which can be reached on foot from the town along an asphalted road.
This is undoubtedly the largest and most interesting site of the three and worth a day's visit.

The next morning I visited the other two sites: Alto De Las Piedras and Alto de los Ídolos, they are in Isnos and a ride by car is required to reach them. Less extensive than the main park of the previous day, especially the first, but in my opinion they are both worth a visit and you can do it in half a day.
