The archaeological park is located in the upper basin of the [[Magdalena River]] and its primary tributaries, in the municipality of the town of San Agustin in Huila in the eastern foothills of the [[Colombian Massif]], from which emerge the three Andean mountain ranges traversing the country from south to north in the Andean Region. San Agustín is 520 km from [[Bogotá]]. The remains of the ancient cultural groups are scattered over an area of over 50 square kilometers, on plateaus located on either side of the canyon formed by the top of the Magdalena River. The park itself corresponds to a small area with a high concentration of graves and contains more than 500 statues of unknown origin.
