PETROGLYPHS
In this tour the first place to visit is the Cartama museum, where we can see the great variety of archaeological pieces of the Cartama Culture, Quimbaya, Tolita Nariño and Yumbo culture of the Amazon.
You can also see photos of the petroglyphs that were carved into the rock and exhibited in the museum life-size, also some funeral urns and vases.
Then we will drive to San Isidro, El Encanto and finally El Rayo which gets its name from the large number of electrical discharges that fragment the volcanic rocks of the same color where we will find and discover the petroglyphs.
**NOTE** It is recommended to go in the late afternoon.
