The magdalena river is one of the most important river arteries of Colombia occupying 48% of its body of water. It begins in Páramo de las Papas in the Colombian Massif and flows in the Caribbean Sea. Within a length of 1.528 kilometers the Magdalena river is home and food for more than 244 species of birds that prefer gathering in its lower basin due to its temperature conditions which is why they can always be appreciated from the Gran Malecon.
