A journey through memory, transformation, and resilience in the territory of Cesar
What We Were and What We Are is an experience of memory, territory, and social transformation in the Serranía del Perijá mountain range. This journey allows visitors to explore community processes built around reconciliation, nature, and the reconstruction of the social fabric in one of the most significant regions of Cesar.
During the tour, you will visit spaces linked to the historical memory of the territory, including the old FARC camp, the ETCR and the House of Memory, places that allow you to understand the social and human dynamics that have marked this region during the last decades.
The experience also includes ecological walks to the Manaure River and the Sabana Rubia moorland, where the environmental richness of the Serranía del Perijá reveals ecosystems of great ecological importance and landscapes of enormous natural and border value between Colombia and Venezuela.
Along the route it is possible to observe endemic bird species typical of this mountain range, as well as understand the relationship between environmental conservation, collective memory and community processes developed in the territory.
More than a conventional tourist tour, this experience proposes a reflection on the past, the present and new ways of inhabiting and rebuilding the territory from memory and nature.
