Oct 16 (Reuters) - A transformation has taken root in Colombia's jungle
heartland, as farmers once engaged in coca cultivation and deforestation are
switching to eco-tourism, which is offering new livelihoods for hundreds of
residents.
Thanks to farmers transitioning to tour guides, visitors can now marvel at the
ancient cave paintings of Cerro Azul or the vibrant pink aquatic plants that
grace Cano Sabana in San Jose del Guaviare, located about 400 km (250 miles)
southeast of capital Bogota.

"Some of the people who are local guides today were great deforesters," says
Joaquin Vargas, who works for local farmer organization Fantasias de Cerro Azul
Puerta del Chiribiquete.
Operating in an area previously gripped by guerrilla warfare and illicit drug
production, the region has steadily opened up following the 2016 peace agreement
between a major armed rebel group known as the FARC and the Colombian
government.

(This story has been corrected to fix the year of the peace agreement to 2016,
not 2017, in paragraph 4)
