Key Facts

Mapiripana is a corregimiento, which is the smallest administrative division in Colombia, located within the Guainía Department in the eastern part of the country. Situated in the remote Amazon region near the border with Venezuela, Mapiripana lies within the vast tropical rainforest that characterizes much of Guainía's territory. This corregimiento covers an area of approximately 2,500 square kilometers and has a population of around 1,200 people, primarily consisting of indigenous communities including the Puinave, Curripaco, and Piapoco peoples. The region is characterized by its dense Amazonian jungle, numerous rivers including the Guainía River, and rich biodiversity. Mapiripana is divided into several smaller settlements and indigenous territories that maintain traditional ways of life while gradually incorporating modern infrastructure. The local economy is based on subsistence agriculture, fishing, hunting, and small-scale artisanal activities, with limited access to urban centers and services. This remote location provides access to postal code information for its constituent settlements and indigenous territories, facilitating communication and administrative processes in this isolated region of Colombia.
