Mapiripán is a municipality in the Department of Meta, Colombia, located in the Llanos Orientales (Eastern Plains) region of the country, along the Río Guaviare, about 280 kilometers from the capital of the department, Villa Vecchio. The climate is predominantly savannah, with flat terrain, vast grasslands and rivers forming the main natural landscape of the region. The economy relies mainly on livestock and agriculture, with some areas engaged in small-scale tropical crop cultivation. As a small to medium-sized town in the eastern plains, Mapiripán retains a traditional Colombian rural culture, with a slower pace of life and a rich natural ecology, making it one of the windows into the customs of Colombia's interior plains.
