After nine years of legal battles in Colombia, the Administrative Tribunal of Cundinamarca has reinforced the protection of Caño Cristales and the surrounding environment in La Macarena, Meta. The court confirmed the resolution that prohibits hydrocarbon exploration in the area, rejecting the oil company Hupecol’s demand for compensation due to the revocation of its environmental license. This decision underscores the importance of safeguarding ecological treasures and supports community and governmental efforts to preserve natural patrimony.

Since 2018, I have lived in Medellín. My role as a digital nomad over the past decade initially brought me to the city, and I quickly became fond of it during a three-month stay. Beyond the pleasant climate, I appreciate Medellín's green environment and the nearby charming villages with unique microclimates. My interests include travel, exploring diverse cuisines, and studying history. I hope this website will enable me to share my experiences and offer insights to those curious about Medellín and Colombia.
