San Agustín Tourist Traps

Don't book at the tourist information as soon as you come off the bus. Shop around because they are not what they claim to be. They are just travel agencies and having put up these false signs they get all the tourists every time the bus arrives. The rest of the locals are complaining because sometimes independent local guides, who have spent all their life there, are better and cheaper. You can go on horseback, too. Prices are about 15$ for jeep tours, 10$ for horseback riding and entrance to the Archaeological Park is 3.5$ plus 1$ and later 2.5$ more extra for the sites.
( According to updating information that came to me from the official guides of the park in Oct. 2010: "The guides ask for 40.000 pesos in spanish and 50.000 pesos per person or group in english, and you can find them at the archeological park, only, and all of
them have a professional card.")
