Summary
This is a series of photographs that shows the physical and spatial reality of a fishing community that lives from their work in what is today the final stretch of the great Magdalena river in Colombia.

The ¨Bocas de Cenisa¨ sector is a long stretch of old railway that demarcates a continental strip that is characterized by its narrow condition. In this place the fishing community has established itself and over time has imposed its architecture and lifestyle marked by its nomadic ways and libertarian life.
