Camino al Magdalena

Abstract

The image contains news about a report from Camino al Magdalena, presented by Mr. Codazza in August 1967 to the Governor of the province, proposing a new route for communication between Bogotá and Honda through Ambalema. Codazza explores the possibility of a highway connecting these key commercial points, highlighting its importance for economic development and the transport of agricultural products. The proposal suggests drawing a one-meter-wide guideline trail and then converting it into a highway, pointing out the economic and logistical advantages of this shorter and less expensive route. The report details the topography and key points along the path, highlighting climate and access advantages for workers. Codazza calculates the cost and economic benefits of constructing this new road, highlighting its potential to improve trade and agriculture in the region. Finally, he proposes the collaboration of businessmen and the consideration of government privileges for those who carry out this work, arguing that the return on investment would be significant and beneficial for regional and national development.
