If I ask you what you know about Colombia, surely the first image that appears in your head will be that of Pablo Escobar, a character who marked a before and after in the history of my country; But have you ever wondered where did the coca come from?
Join with me a journey of discovery to the capital of Guaviare, a department that due to its geographical position has been linked to different processes of colonization of peasants and settlers who, seduced by the natural abundance and its possibilities of exploitation, reached the territory and marked mostly violent periods, one of them and the best known, cocaine.
