Cañón de La Llorona, Natural canyon in Antioquia Department, Colombia
The Cañón de La Llorona extends for 46.3 kilometers through the municipalities of Dabeiba and Mutatá, carved by the Río Sucio river.
The canyon witnessed numerous military confrontations during Colombia's internal conflict, with various armed groups fighting for control of this strategic corridor.
Local Embera Eyábida indigenous communities maintain their traditions in the canyon area despite historical displacement due to regional conflicts.
A 435-meter tunnel, constructed between 1993 and 1995, provides safer passage through the canyon on the road connecting Medellín to Urabá.
The canyon contains rare dry tropical forest ecosystems, which represent only 8 percent of Colombia's original dry forest coverage.
