Buenaventura y caney…
We left for Buenaventura in January 2020, thanks to the idea of our dear Julia G. Ávila, my friend, head of content and illustrious who came up with the idea to explore and who encouraged the team to donate days.
Thanks to this great idea, we have more than 40 products from the transmedia pilot of the APPELLATION OF ORIGIN: COLOMBIAN PACIFIC.

Memorable moment where Expedition Buenaventura was born
To get you encouraged, I recommend reading while listening to this song:
Mi Buenaventura – Mi Pregoyo. Leonor Gonzales Mina
Thursday, January 23 Julia and I traveled by car to Buenaventura from the famous Portada al Mar of Cali.
We arrived at the Hotel Cordillera, in the center of the city, a favorable location. We toured on foot with our friends from the National Navy who were our support in land and river transportation. We managed the agenda and set everything ready. Thank you friends and family of the Navy!
I share the route we did in the expedition on this interactive map

ALL 4
Like the elements, each department is different and when joined together they generate life.
Fire: Chocó.
Air: Valle del Cauca.
Earth: Cauca.
Water: Nariño.
What does the Denomination of Origin logo mean?
The graphic is built with various symbols that when joined together give the appearance of a landscape, a river, a tree or a baby in the womb joined to its mother by the umbilical cord. Air, water, earth and fire appear within it simplified.
The elements that compose it have these meanings:
- The circle: representation of the unit and the womb, cooperation and the constant cycle of life and death.
- The spiral: Symbol associated with the process of life.
- The roots: our union with the earth and the origin of everything.
THE ROLE OF WOMEN
Women in the Pacific are multitaskers and just as they do midwifery, cook, raise, work, fight for their rights, fish, hunt, sing, play, sew and dance. Very protective of tradition and heritage!
Francisca Renteria Renteria better known as ‘Pachita’ one of the first inhabitants of Playa Piangüita who opened the doors of her house to us with a Fish Sancocho. Tasty wisdom!

Seven filmmakers undertake a whirlwind journey through Buenaventura, their goal, to collect images and meet characters that will be part of the transmedia project Appellation of Origin, Colombian Pacific.
Complementary product of PERSONAJES PACÍFICO
In 3 days of pre-production directed by Oscar Lozada, Head of Research, we traveled with some basic guidelines, focused on finding destinations behind characters, and so it was or so we made them believe, because before our filmmaking team arrived we had to have everything coldly calculated, as they say: Our angels do not abandon us. Never.
Little by little we wove the web of exploration, which you enjoy.
On the Malecón de Buenaventura known as ‘Malecón Bahía de Cruz’ we were received very well by Rafael Arango from Julieta Restaurant and Jemny of Palafitos, cultural managers of the municipality, they were very helpful and attentive during our visit. Thank you for your support and for serving us so well!
