LA ENCHARCAZÓN

Encharcazón is not a common name, nor is it usual to know where it is, and who lives there. This is a district of the municipality of Rio Iró, located in the department of Chocó. Here the Chocoanos do not have much, but neither do they complain about the lack of money, food and living conditions. On the contrary, the vast majority of them thank life, the mountains, and God because in the midst of so much poverty, they are happy. All the inhabitants of Encharcazón have something in common, they are victims of the war in Colombia. All of them lived in places close to this township, but ended up populating this remote part of the world due to the forced displacement by armed groups. Everyone had to say goodbye to the good life they lived on their farms subsisting on agriculture and the countryside, to start from scratch in a small town with few resources but full of friendly people, smiling faces, welcoming landscapes.
