    The National Archaeological Park of Tierradentro, one of the most important sites in Colombia, where we will arrive at this place of great anthropological and historical wealth, and once there you will understand why it is called that. We will take a tour of the park, where we will be able to observe vestiges of three historical periods: pre-Hispanic, colonial and republican. We will walk among its underground tombs called hypogeums, excavated in the volcanic rock itself, and we will admire the decorations of the different funerary chambers. Did you know that some reach a depth of 8 meters? In addition, we will learn the history of the brave Paece indigenous people, who inhabited this territory before the arrival of the Spanish and allied themselves with their neighbors to try to protect their lands.
