Mitú, Vaupés

High score (8-10) · Your profile

Mitú is the capital of Vaupés and the only town in the department with a functioning airport — prop planes connecting to Villavicencio or Bogotá on a limited schedule. The local population is predominantly indigenous Tukano and related groups, with government workers and a small mestizo commercial class filling out the rest. An outsider here reads immediately as a government employee, an NGO worker, or lost — there is no tourism infrastructure and no conventional social scene. The economic gap that works in a foreign man's favor elsewhere in Colombia doesn't translate here because the dominant culture is not oriented around mestizo or international social norms.
