Yes. The Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History (ICANH) is the Colombian State entity that regulates and protects archaeological heritage. Vegonia holds ICANH Resolution No. 1457 of October 4, 2023, which authorizes the legitimate custody of 6 pieces and lots: 3 statues, 1 slab lot and 2 grinding stones. The pieces belong to the Nation but the authorized custodian (Juan Pablo Paladinez Anacona) cares for them and makes them accessible to the public, contributing to their conservation.

The sculptures and cancel tombs of Vegonia were created by the ancestral culture of the Upper Magdalena, the pre-Hispanic group that inhabited this region between the 6th century BC and the 17th century AD. Radiocarbon dates from the site place the burials between the 6th century AD (Beta-10232) and the 10th century AD. Archaeologist Héctor Llanos (1984) cataloged it as the largest and best-preserved residential nucleus of the Upper Magdalena, with more than 112 artificial terraces across 8 hectares.

Yes. We have a space available for training sessions, workshops or corporate team-building activities. Room rental: $150,000/day; kitchen rental: $50,000/day. For large groups (more than 6 people) please check availability and special rates via WhatsApp. Guide-led excursions also adapt to groups: the guide to Laguna del Dorado, Salto de Bordones and Arco de las Jarras has a group price (≤5 people) with additional cost per extra person.

Vegonia is a year-round destination thanks to its temperate climate (12-24°C, altitude 1,500-2,100 m.a.s.l.). December-January and June-August are dry seasons, which favor mountain excursions. The rainy months (April-May and October-November) are perfect for enjoying lush vegetation and waterfall flows. The archaeological reserve can be visited in any weather condition.
