Vichada, to the Custody of Life

Vichada, to the Custody of Life

Clare Weiskopf / Colombia

A reflection by the famous scientist Alexander Von Humbolt on the mystique of an expedition begins a journey of reflections on science through the exploration of the savannahs and gallery forests of the Tomo River, which begins in the Meta, crosses the Vichada and flows into the Great Orinoco.
This territory is a great biological corridor not only between those departments but also between Colombia and Venezuela, and the point of return for a group of biologists to the area that they had been able to investigate until they had to leave it in the 1980s because of the armed conflict.
