The next day we took a Jeep tour of the great San Augustine area which has a lot more statues, including the biggest one- Alto de los Idolos- that's 7m tall. Honestly the Jeep tour was a bit of a let down after the horse tour the previous day and we got COVERED in dust from the dirt roads on which we were traveling. We did however get to go to Salto de Bordones- which is the second highest waterfall in South America, second only to Angel Falls in Venezula.
We ended our tour in Isnos, which is yet another small "colonial" town. From there we caught a bus back to Popayan to get some of our stuff which we had left there. There weren't any seats available on the bus so we got to sit on the floor for the 6 hour trip back (at least it wasnt on the bus from our trip there)!
We got back to Popayan, paid to take a shower, and then met up again with Sagiv who had gone to Popayan earlier that day since he hadnt been there yet. We had a Popayan fairwell dinner at one of the two Visa accepting restaurants. Then it started to rain and I mean rain! We had to take 2 taxis because all 5 of us and our packs woudlnt fit but we couldnt find any taxis because of the rain. So we ended up missing the big bus that we had planned on taking and instead we spent the night on a tiny "supertaxi" bus. At one point we were stuck at a police ckeck point for over an hour- it was odd though beause they had buses lined up but they never actually checked anything as far as we could tell.
