The Vichada department is located in eastern Colombia, on the border with Venezuela. It is one of the least populated and most vast areas of the country, characterized by extensive savannas, tropical forests, and rivers. In terms of crafts, Vichada is particularly known for the works created by the local indigenous communities. Vichada's crafts are not only a means of subsistence for these communities, but they play a crucial role in preserving their cultural heritage and identity.
