Rock Art in Colombia
The petroglyphs of Estrecho are located near the strait of Rio Magdalena river, north from the town of San Agustin. There are several rock covered with the carvings of San Agustin culture, but they are very difficult to find (the site is not signposted and some of the carvings are covered by lichen).
Special thanks for my father who visited this and other sites in Colombia.
