[quote=Anonymous]PP.  Continuing some thoughts.

I looked at the Academic Calendar for UniAndes and they appear to have a semester break the week of March 16th.  And I think you are planning to visit the week before Easter.  You should consider how Christian holidays might impact your visit.

Beyond the grad student I suggested above, your child should look into where prominent Colombian archeologist faculty are studying.  Here are some names I Googled for you

"Key experts in Colombian archaeology include researchers focusing on pre-Hispanic gold, Amazonian rock art, and genetic history, such as Marianne Cardale de Schrimpff, Carlos Castaño-Uribe, and Gonzalo Correal Urrego. Significant recent work involves Professor José Iriarte (University of Exeter) on Amazonian rock art, and genetic studies by researchers like Kim-Louise Krettek and Cosimo Posth.

Key Academic & Field Experts

Marianne Cardale de Schrimpff: Renowned for studies on pre-Hispanic cultures and metallurgy.

Carlos Castaño-Uribe: Expert in rock art and the Serranía de Chiribiquete.

Gonzalo Correal Urrego: Prominent in early settlement archaeology.

José Iriarte: University of Exeter professor specializing in Amazonian pre-colonial history and landscape domestication.
