San Vicente del Caguán

Municipality of the department of Caquetá northeast of Florencia, a resilient territory and where peace and reconciliation processes were carried out. In this territory there are 3 morphological units: to the north, a steep ravine that corresponds to the Eastern mountain range, where the El Diablo and El Triunfo hills and the Picachos blade stand out; in the center the foothills, formed by alluvial fans and cones, and to the east it is undulating to flat and corresponds to the Amazon plain.
