Analysis of the three known rock art sites in the San Miguel region (vereda) shows a marked difference in motif style and application technique indicating a possible different cultural origin in this transitional area for petroglyphs emphasizing an anthropomorphic theme when compared to the completely geometric red pictograph. Rock artists for this area may have been the Muisca, the Panche, or earlier inhabitants of the area.

A SHIRTPOCKET GUIDE FOR EMERGENCY AMAZON JUNGLE SURVIVAL

Ferocious animals ready to charge the unwary, deadly snakes hanging from trees waiting to strike ... more Ferocious animals ready to charge the unwary, deadly snakes hanging from trees waiting to strike the hiker, voracious piranha fish lurking to attack the careless swimmer, and carnivorous plants at every bend; these are some of the first thoughts that run through the mind of the armchair traveler when the word " jungle " is mentioned. Adventurous travelers entering the jungle for the first time are sometimes disappointed with the lack of wildlife they are sure must be staring at them from behind every tree. In fact, the closest contact the tourist may have with jungle wildlife might be a distant glimpse of a pair of Macaw parrots flying to or from their watering spot, or the bite of a hungry mosquito or " jejen " (no-see-um) sand fly. While many animals MAY be in the immediate area of the walker, the jungle itself only comes to full life during the night time hours. During the daytime, most animals sleep or hide in tree holes or in burrows in the earth. Hunting and feeding occurs during the time of least heat. Actually, as Kapax, the Colombian Tarzan, once said, " The most dangerous animal in the jungle is man. " In virgin jungle a continuous life cycle begins in the tree tops or " docel " where most of the animals live and the vegetation regenerates fastest. This animal and plant life fights each day amongst itself; insects eating leaves and seeds, birds sucking flowers, monkeys eating insects, birds, rats, and eagles and cacambras (fat-looking hawks) eating everything that moves. Eventually each dies, and falls to the ground where everything composts into a vegetable mat creating soil for trees and plants to grow. These lowest level plants live in the most difficult zone since the upper levels block sunlight necessary for most life. Ground level does supply fruit, roots, leaves and seeds needed by terrestrial animals, and of course is the recipient of all the dead matter that falls from above. The intermediate level of the jungle provides an area of sun and shade needed for epiphytes like orchids, bromeliads and vines where insects, worms, larva, and beetles live. Woodpeckers eat the insects and owls eat the birds. Clearing plots of land by man for agricultural use disrupts this cycle. Nutrients in the soil are depleted after one crop harvest and leaves a denuded area that eventually erodes into a muddy field. If this area borders a stream or river, the mud pollutes the water and may deplete enough oxygen to kill fish living in small streams with limited movement. This article is intended to provide a few practical tips for any serious jungle explorer who may need to rely on local plant and animal life to survive in the jungle. Without exception, it is necessary to accompany a local Indian shaman or person very familiar with the local area on an identification tour before trying to survive alone in the jungle. Few people are able to survive for extended periods of time on their own without personalized instruction and identification of local food sources. It can't be emphasized enough that the methods and tips given here are only to be used in cases of extreme emergency to survive when normal food sources are not available. Jungle ecology may be serious affected by the random cutting of trees and killing of animals and should not be done unless absolutely necessary.

EL ROSAL : The History Of A Small Town In The Colombian Andes

El Rosal: The History Of A Small Town In The Colombian Andes, 2020

It´s the result of more than two years investigation in the National Archives of Colombia, various notary offices and numerous interviews with old family members who have roots in the Valley. Through these investigations the history of the town of El Rosal was reconstructed from the pre-historic times of the Chinga Indians through the dismembering of the large Hacienda El Rosal into small farms and barrios or “veredas” that still maintained some of their ancient names and vestiges of their prior grandeur in 1988.
