The Cerros de Mavicuri are three hills, located in eastern Colombia, 50 km (31 mi) south of the city of Inírida on the Inírida River. Geologically, the mountains are part of the Guiana Shield.
Mavicuri is considered a sacred site by the multiple ethnic groups residing in the area. Its name means blowgun of the mountains, named after the tool used by the natives to catch prey.
The three mountains are called Pajarito (Little Bird), Mono (Monkey) and Mavicuri and are 712 m (2,336 ft), 480 m (1,570 ft), and 170 m (560 ft) respectively. They are made of volcanic rock and can only be accessed by river.
These mountains are considered one of the main tourist sites in the Department of Guainía and are located within a Puinave indigenous reserve.[1]
