WHO ARE THE KOGI?
The Kogi people have lived in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta for centuries, preserving a way of life
deeply connected to nature and spiritual balance.
Following the Spanish conquest, their ancestors retreated into the higher regions of the mountains,
where they maintained their traditions, language, and cultural identity.
Today, the Kogi are recognized worldwide for their unique worldview and their message that
humanity must restore balance with nature to ensure the future of life on Earth.
Their knowledge, passed down through generations, continues to guide how they care for the
forests, rivers, sacred sites, and ecosystems of the Sierra Nevada.
