The Colombian State (Department) of Vichada is the second-largest department and the most remote eastern outpost in Colombia; the large area and low population also means it is the last place on the priority list of the government's funding ladder; therefore locally we need to depend on ourselves and the interests of visitors that make their way here. Our focus is on general ecological tourism and international adventure tourism combined with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 and the World Tourism Organization gives us a functional working agenda with clearly defined goals to meet as an organization of members.
The Vichada Network aims to connect the resources from 41 national parks, approximately 100 hotel and resort properties, 300 providers of services and ecological reserves from 4 municipalities: Puerto Carreño (capital), Santa Rosalia, La Primavera, and Cumaribo (Indigenous territories and Biosphere). In 2023 our website becomes diversified with increased security to meet the demands of tourists and our members as investors. The Vichada Network is the only regional .net website (network) that is 100% secure using Google Workspace, Cloud Identity, WhatsApp for Business and Workplace by Meta.
The new council subscribes to ideas of the Tourism Bill of Rights and the Tourist Code which was adopted by the World Tourism Organization in 1985. Our organization also capacitates and qualifies all of its participants with Implementation Guideline for Tour Operators and International Law of Tourism which provides for tourism resources and activities; rights and obligations of tourists, organizations and individuals doing tourism business and other supportive businesses that work integrally within the tourism industry. Since 2020 the world was made to subscribe and voluntarily adhere to International Code for the Protection of Tourists (ICPT) due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Tourism is seen as an axis of local, regional and national economic, social and cultural development, that requires, among other instruments, a reliable information system that contributes to the orientation and satisfaction of the visitor and serves as a tool to determine the indicators of tourism. this activity, is making each region a more competitive destination.
Tourism creates an economic base for the community that can be counted on growing by providing a rich and robust economic experience for tourists.
The purpose of the "Cooperativa Mixta de Puerto Carreño" (also known as Cooperativa El Picacho) is to implement inter-institutional, public and private actions, aimed at transforming the wide tourist potential that Vichada's Capital City has into tourist products and services that are solidly promoted and effectively positioned nationally and internationally, making tourism a true engine of sustainable regional development, employment generation and generation of business, institutional and social added values.
