On the eastern part of Colombia's eastern plains stretch belong to the watershed Orinoco, sedimentary area corresponding to the tertiary and quaternary.
In 1918 Dr José Eustaquio Rivera was commissioned to define the territory of eastern Colombia, the product of their work travels the book came the maelstrom, of which Dr Gustavo Zalamea (ADDR) for some time out as this text was taken as map however, the book wanders in the light of a geographical analysis is more in line with the canons of discipline over heterotopias-utopias of the exotic.
Here are some of the comments made by Gustavo Zalamea in the text "Joseph Eustasio Heterotopias Rivera (1888-1928), or the limits of the exotic"
* This interest is due in part to fear of further territorial losses, especially in light of the presence of the rubber company operating in Peru Casa Arana Caquetá River region (Thomas 1918, p. 186 s. ) {1890, 1932}. First possession of the peripheral areas is directly related to the country's existence as such, and the threat to the periphery began to be considered a threat to all Colombia.
* The East is a world without divisions and without roads to follow. If Australia can invent the picturesque, the picturesque outskirts of the Colombian prevent it, without ceasing to build a territory. However, more realistic Reyes and more optimistic than Ortega, the maps in The Maelstrom set a new tone in geographical discourse about the Orient.
* The nation is built in so far as it is conceived as part of all the nations of the globe, but not in a territorial sense, ie without reference to neighboring countries. In the case of Colombia, the community of nations is defined for a long time from Europe. It seems that to be possible to consider nation, Colombia had to meet two requirements it imposes itself: that of being European, from their point of view, and to be simultaneously exotic, from the European point of view. Both approaches reveal that assumes Colombia for itself a single point of view: the European.
The analysis of the work, Gustavo Zalamea Rivera said that in fact seems to discern the difference between purely political boundaries and cultural boundaries in the region.
* which feels obliged to instruct the natives of the region on their nationality and their rights as Colombian citizens.
About Jungle (Chapter II the vortex, fragment)
Oh forest, silent wife, mother of loneliness and the fog! What evil fate left me a prisoner in your prison green? The flags of your branches, like an immense dome, always are over my head between my aspiration and the clear sky, only your drinks shaken glimpse when the waves move, when your twilight distressing. Where is the beloved star that evening walking the hills? Are those gold-colored clouds that murex dress the angel of the sunsets, why not shake your dombo61? Sighed my soul many times guessing the maze through your reflection of the distant star that empurpuraba to the side of my country, where there are plains and unforgettable white-crowned peaks, from whose peaks I was at the height of the mountains! On what site erguirá the moon its peaceful beacon of silver? You you stole my dream of the horizon and to my eyes just the monotony of your zenith, through which the peaceful dawn, shining ever the stubble of your breasts wet!
You are the Cathedral of grief ...
