AYAPEL
Crossing the Cienaga de Ayapel by boat for 15 minutes, you will arrive at El Cedro, a small town, filled with houses decorated with murals painted by the local youths. In the jungle of this area, at the top of the palm trees, grows a traditional plant, better known as seje palm. This palm fibre is used by local artisans to create beautiful structures. The fibre is used to cover the metal base, weaving and tying the fibres with hemp knots. A fairly modern craft, this form of weaving started only around 10 years ago.
