Archaeological Treasures

Several archaeological sites and many priceless artifacts testify to the cultural richness that thrived in the country before European domination. For a sojourn into Colombia's past, duck into Bogotá's Museo de Oro to see the world's largest collection of pre-Columbian gold, and a comprehensive collection of pre-Columbian artifacts from indigenous cultures, including the Muisca, Nariño, Calima, and Sinú. Here you'll also see the largest uncut emerald in the world. Also in Bogotá is the Museum of Archaeology, which houses splendid pre-Columbian ceramics.
