Long before the Spanish arrived, the Muisca people worshipped Bachué, the mother goddess born from a sacred lake, and Bochica, the bearded hero who tamed a great flood. The Wayuu of the desert coast feared Pulowi, mistress of drought and death, while the Kogi priests of the Sierra Nevada still guard the spiritual world of Aluna, the Great Mother's mind.

But when the sun sets over the Colombian wild, older, hungrier things stir. La Patasola stalks the jungle on her single leg, hunting unfaithful men. El Mohán rises from the river with fire in his eyes. La Madremonte cloaks herself in moss and leaves, punishing those who dare harm her forests.

Colombian Legends & Mythology gathers gods, goddesses, spirits, and monsters into one enchanted, unsettling journey - from the golden rites of El Dorado to the whistling ghost of El Silbón. Whether you come for the folklore, the history, or the shiver down your spine, Colombia's wild has been waiting to tell you its secrets.
