 In the center of Colombia´s Magdalena River Basin, two of the most dramatic landscapes form in the limestone (karst) areas of Río Claro (Antioquia), and El Peñón (Santander). These special neotropical environments host great biodiversity that is poorly understood. They are also windows into the past, preserving invaluable paleoclimatic and paleontological information spanning millions of years. The strategic location of caverns and rock shelters makes them a unique repository of the only preserved pictographic material left by generations of communities that occupied and moved throughout the region during the last 10 millennia. The information they contain provides a glimpse into the graphic and symbolic systems employed by societies that made use of this corridor between the Amazon Basin, the Peruvian Andes and Mesoamerica.  In the center of Colombia´s Magdalena River Basin, two of the most dramatic landscapes form in the limestone (karst) areas of Río Claro (Antioquia), and El Peñón (Santander).
