This fascinating site 22km from San José is the most easily accessible of the numerous cave paintings in the department of Guaviare, though it's still quite a challenge to find. Leave the dirt road at the sign for Finca Villa Nueva and then walk through farmland (it's best to greet the farmers and ask permission to cross) and climb up the hillside. At the top you'll find extraordinarily well preserved indigenous cave paintings open to the elements.
