La Pelota
A small hilltop site near El Purutal, where several guardian stone statues and stone tombs stand on a grassy slope, surrounded by coffee plantations and views of the Magdalena River valley.
La Pelota is a small burial site on a mountain ridge, where several guardian-style stone statues and stone tombs stand on an open grassy field. The surroundings of coffee and sugarcane fields make for beautiful scenery. It is almost adjacent to El Purutal, and it is usually the same stop on the horseback route. Entry is free. There is not a great deal to see, but it suits visitors who enjoy rural riding and pastoral scenery and can be visited on the way.
