The Cerros de Mavecure are three mounds located in southeast Colombia. More specifically, they are located 50 km (31 mi) south of the city of Inírida on the Inírida River. Geologically the mountains are part of the Guiana Shield.
The three mountains are called Pajarito (Little Bird), Mono (Monkey) and Mavicure and are 712 m (2,336 ft), 480 m (1,570 ft), and 170 m (560 ft) respectively. They can only be accessed by the river.
These mountains are considered one of the main tourist sites in the Department of Guainía and are located within a Puinave indigenous reserve.[1]
Popular Culture
The Cerros de Mavecure are featured in the film Embrace of the Serpent. The Governor of the Guainía Department partly decorated Ciro Guerra, the director of the film, with the Order of the Inrida Flower for highlighting the land feature in the film.[2]
