Bojayá, Colombia

Bojayá is a remote town in Colombia’s Chocó region, nestled along the Atrato River in one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. On May 2, 2002, it became the site of one of the country’s most painful tragedies when over 100 civilians were killed in a FARC-launched attack during fighting with paramilitaries. Bojayá has become a symbol of resilience, memory, and the strength of communities rebuilding amid loss. In 2016 I had the opportunity to experience the town and surrounding areas firsthand.
