Rock Art in Colombia.

Alto del Tigre, known also as Alto del Mortino, is located south from Alto de las Guacas, near the same trial. On the plantation of oranges (private area) there is a single stone with rock art - the carving is believed to depict a tiger. The stone is about 1.2 m long and stand about 0.8 m above the ground level. It is very difficult to find and not signed on any trial, you have to ask the landowner to show it. Fortunately, it looks like INAS is interested in the site - when my father visited it, the landowner asked him if he came for inspection of the site.

The rock art in Alto del Tigre belongs to San Agustin culture, one of the main Pre-Colombian cultures of current Colombia.
