Vargas Swamp Lancers

Nice monument, the biggest in Colombia and with a very interesting story. There's easy access for ppl with mobility issues. Free entrance.

Outstanding experience. There was a tourism guide wore as Simón Bolivar who told us all the history behind this place. 100% recommended.

When a people give everything, including their lives l, in the defense of their freedom, it is a humbling experience to observe. The statues are expertly crafted. The emotion captured on the faces of the men is powerful

Beautiful historic place with an out of this world monument, el monumento del pantano de vargas was something I never expected.

It is a place to learn and relive the history of our country. Visiting the monument is free, but if you want to enter the museum it costs $3,000 cop per person.

It a beautiful place that honours a battle for independence and it is worth a visit even if you are not interested in history because the surroundings are very beautiful the roads are fine and it has a small plaza where you can rest or buy souvenirs. Highly recommended is you are nearby

Lovely place, please come here and learn more about Colombia's history

Very historical place in Paipa - Duitama circuit. It is the bravery of those ancestors that Colombia is a free country. The guides in historical costumes are a highlight in the monument. The monument is in the middle of fincas and mountains which adds beauty to the place. The monument is very well maintained and the museum nearby shows the life of the people during that time. The monument with each of the rider and the horse is intricately carved and expressive.

Beautiful! They also have several guides that will explain the whole historical background.

Quite interesting place mainly for those who likes the history. Here took place a battle so important for the country's freedom. Bigger than Puente de Boyacá's (Boyacá's bridge) and the monument is so big.

Definitely worth a visit. The route is very rustic and scenic to get here as well.

Learn about our history is the best. You can find food,guide, and a beautiful views.
