Description: The patrimonial, environmental and cultural value of the Cerros Orientales (Eastern Hills) for the city of Bogotá. The book explores how, over time, the hills have inspired scientific knowledge, through the consolidation of cartographic memory, paintings, drawings, photography and the testimonies of expeditions and travelers. Among the most outstanding pieces on display are a selection of animal color drawings of the hill's fauna and flora by Confucio Hernandez, an artist from the Amazons. The catalogue includes a color reproduction of the 11-meters long watercolor by artist Maria Cecilia Galindo that represents the profile of the hills, with its rivers, names of mountains, viewpoints, gorges, heights and cultural milestones, which included the collaboration of 20 people from the Colectivo Bogotá Pinta Cerros that researchers, trail walkers, artists and lovers of the hills.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition held between February and May 2017 at the Museo de Bogotá.
