Art Action #09//17 - Las Mercedes Reserva Natural de las Aguas

       

In the "Magdalena medio" region in Caldas / Central Colombia, not far from the largest river in the country, the Magdalena, nestled in Table Mountains, lies a still forgotten jungle landscape, full of bubbling springs, protected animals and rare plants. Las Mercedes, as this small region is called, forms one of the last intact green corridors from the, still completely untouched, Pacific coast into the Colombian central country, located between the three Andes-Cordillera.
But this gem could be destroyed...!
