THE COLOMBIAN MASSIF

The Colombian Massif is a mysterious region of majestic mountains, verdant valleys, deserts, volcanoes and the headlands of the country’s most important rivers where enigmatic lost cultures have left behind messages to the modern world. Here you can visit astounding archaeological parks where each intricate carving, painted line and carefully placed stone connects the visitor to the hands of mystical artisans whose beliefs have shaped the Andean traditions that underpin the identity of the nation and its inhabitants.

Those enigmatic cultures continue its legacy to this day through diverse indigenous groups that inhabit the region, providing a link between Colombia’s Andean origins and the present. Yet it’s not just the lost civilizations that have left their stamp on the Massif, the region has also been indelibly marked by colonial power, with grandiose European settlements constructed in an attempt to impose another culture on these sacred mountains, making this little-known region so fascinating to explore.
