Abstract

This article explores the transformation of the industrial cultural landscape along the Magdalena River, specifically from Girardot to Honda, with the aim of characterizing this change and highlighting the relationship between the valley, the river, its driving force, and the presence of industrial infrastructures. The interaction between biotic and anthropic factors that have influenced the landscape transformation in various historical stages of industrialization is addressed. Graphical and cartographic analysis is crucial to demonstrate the causal connections between significant events and the current configuration of the industrial cultural landscape. The results identify and categorize industrial remnants that reflect the influence of the Magdalena River on the country's industrial development in the first half of the 20th century, as well as the delimitation of landscape units to understand the interactions between natural and anthropic factors.
