Description in English: This book is a bet of the author to condense in several chapters a set of varied topics that have contributed to the formation of a social network that, since ancient times, has been formed by natives, blacks and mestizos of all colors. It is an investigation, supported by documentary information and oral tradition, that allows us to know how the economic, social, political and cultural life of a municipality and part of its neighborhood was built, as well as the contributions of women to the development of that area. Undoubtedly, it is an enlightening book on the history of an area of Magdalena, bathed by the Magdalena River and several marshes, including Zapayán, a sub-region in which water has played a fundamental role in the settlement, economic development, social life, and the formation of cultural identity.
