The Sierra de la Macarena is a Colombian mountain range, located in the department of Meta, in the Andean foothills in the Amazon rainforest, it is the meeting point of the Andean, Amazonian, and Orinoco ecosystems. Inhabited by peasants who are heirs of a recent colonization process, motivated by the violent expulsion of peasants since the mid-20th century, La Macarena is recognized both for its physico-biotic importance and for the multiple conflicts that intersect it.
