The Lanceros de Colombia.


This is a very impressive monument near the little town of Paipa. This is a huge monument built to honor the 14 Lanceros that helped win the Revolution in early 18th century. The horses and the people are life size. You can see and feel the emotion of the Lanceros and the power of their horses. This monument was built on the very spot of a very bloody war that was one of the last battles before independence was won.
