This is a photograph of a 'Maloca', is a building made of materials from the Amazon forest in Colombia such as wood and palm leaf, mainly. This construction is traditional from native communities of Colombia, located at the south of the country. Malocas represent an important center of their religion, culture and social environment. PD: I couldn't take a photo of this topic because this kind of structures are very far from my city, so I had to search an image from internet. By the way, this is the web page of the image: https://semanarural.com/web/articulo/el-unico-chaman-que-le-queda-a-la-etnia-matapi-quiere-salvar-su-tradicion-con-una-maloca-en-bogota/1142.
