Abstract

This article collects a series of data and quotes that allow us to get closer to a general idea of the main issues of the municipality of Girardot-Cundinamarca (Colombia) which is considered as the axis of a very important sub-region of the country center. In this sense, the subject of this article is the socio-economic and cultural characteristics of the population and the changes that it has been object of, as well as its areas of influence – it means the populations of the Upper Magdalena and Tequendama region-. Likewise, we will report some evidences regarding how the most relevant transformation of the city has been documented. Which consists of how Girardot went from being the busiest port on the Magdalena River in the country, to become the most important commercial and tourist center of Cundinamarca after Bogotá?
