Things to see and do Desierto De La Tatacoa

The Valley of the Xilópalos offers a beautiful 3-hour round trip hike, less frequented than the other sites of the Tatacoa. There are interesting geological formations full of legends, such as the "passage of the snake", a narrow mineral canyon through which the trail passes (and which, according to legend, allows you to regain your virginity...), and especially the famous xilópalos, petrified wood stumps, a type of fossil that dates back millions of years (Tertiary era), reminding us that the area was once covered by forest.
