Peñon Santander, is a very small town of the south of Santander department. A place where its urban area only has around 500 people, whom only today are able to leave in peace after decades of suffering the different types of violence that this beautiful country has suffered through its history and showing us to enjoy and explore the amazing nature of this region, that they are trying to save from the mining corporations. Here only 5 hours away from Bogota the capital, over the same East Andes mountain range and around 2100 meters above the see level, the intricacy of the Karstic rock labyrinth formations upholstered with little fossils from hundreds of million years old, and decorated with the high mountain Andean fog-forest gift us and incredible landscape, here humidity and plenty sources of water abound but we cannot see easily a river formation! We have to go and look for then underground, due to the geology of the area, which is similar to a giant cheese with dozens of caves where the science is still finding new species of flora and. We want to take you to submerge in the incredible labyrinth of forest and caves.
