Why is the Samaná SO SPECIAL ?
The Samana Watershed is located 2 hours east of Medellin, on the Medellin-Bogota highway. It drains the eastern side of the northern tip of the central range of the Andes, and flows into the Magdalena river, Colombia’s main artery. This river is the last remaining corridor between 5 of Colombia’s most relevant ecosystems. Its water flows from the Paramo de Sonson and crosses an incredibly pristine area of rainforest, before pouring its water into the floodplains and the Magdalena.
All the rivers of the area have been dammed and devastated by deforestation and natural resources exploitation. Yet the Samaná persists, and it is our last opportunity to preserve one of the world’s most astonishing watershed
