In Colombia, there is a region that is home to a paradise of natural beauty and is known for the intense green of its soil. It is also home to hundreds of legends dating back centuries, where nature and the culture of the country of beauty blend to build a fascinating place.
This is the Amazon-Orinoco Region, a fertile land and full of business opportunities. Here, not only flowers flourish, but also an industry that, in love with the natural wealth of this area of Colombia, seeks profitability through sustainable projects and environmentally friendly processes.
In this tour through Colombia’s regions, we want to invite you to discover the Amazon-Orinoco Region, in the country of beauty, and invest in a place that awaits you with open arms. Here we will show you some of the advantages and richness of this region, which we can divide in two: The Amazon and The Orinoco.
Colombian Amazon
Classified as one of the lungs of the world, the Amazon rainforest covers a large part of southern Colombia, filling the national territory with oxygen and biodiversity. In addition, it is at this point where Colombia shares a border with countries such as Brazil, Peru and Ecuador.
This is an essential place for life, rich in opportunities. It is also the home of Leticia, one of the main capital cities of the region and the economic hub of this corner of Colombia.
There, the tourism industry is an important engine for the economy, as travelers from all over the world come to this area of the country attracted by the secrets of nature. Colombians from different corners of the country also decide to discover one of the treasures of their country.
In this case, sustainable and adventure tourism has become more relevant, thanks to the country's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. It is expected that during this decade the planet will experience the transformation it needs in terms of sustainability, making environmentally friendly initiatives become more relevant, receiving support from both the private and public sectors.
Additionally, thanks to its natural wealth, the Amazon is an ideal place for agriculture. In this regard, the country has an agenda that seeks agricultural practices that do not affect the ecosystem, contributing to the area’s reforestation.
Finally, the cultural richness of the region has been responsible for the creation of handicrafts made with artisanal methods, which stand out for their quality and the originality of their designs. These goods are connected to the local culture and, for this reason, they are unique on the planet, giving them competitive advantages in the global market.
Orinoquia
The Orinoquia is an extensive area of Colombia, located in the eastern part of the country, and sharing a border with Venezuela, one of Colombia’s main trading partners in the region.
Cities such as Villavicencio, Yopal, Arauca, Acacías, Granada, Saravena and Puerto Carreño have become economic hubs of the region and a bridge between national industry and international investors.
Sectors such as animal husbandry stand out in this area, an industry driven by the extensive experience of the region's workers, who have been trading in this sector for decades. Departments such as Meta and Casanare, according to DANE data, had more than 2 million head of cattle in 2022.
In addition, this corner of the country of beauty is becoming one of the new hubs for the energy transition, with new projects that seek to drive this transformation within the country.
All this means that sustainable investments have gained relevance in the region, as they can promote sustainable practices in livestock farming and support the transition to clean energy in Colombia. It is partly for this reason that many incentives have been developed to attract sustainable investments to the country, providing logistical facilities and tax benefits for businesspeople who support the energy transition and good business practices.
