The entire Departamento of Vichada covers 100,242 km2 with a population of only 97,276 people. A departamento is like a province or state. Colombia has 32 departamentos. The capital of Vichada is Puerto Carreño, located between the Rio Meta and Rio el Vita or Rio el Bita rivers along the mighty Orinoco, South America's second longest river. Vichada is on Colombia's eastern border, with Venezuela North of the Rio Meta and East of the Orinoco. Vichada forms part of the Colombian llanos or plains. The climate is hot and humid, with distinct wet and dry seasons.

One of the tropical tree plantations we work with is Plantación Amazonia El Vita S.A., located on 2,880 hectares (approx. 7,116 acres) about 1 hour and 20 minutes out of Puerto Carreño by gravel highway. It is located around 06° 05' 51" North and 67° 43' 48" West. The land lies along the banks of the Rio el Bita river. Another tropical tree plantation is Roncador Forestal S.A., consisting of 3,000 hectares (approx. 7,410 acres) along the Orinoco river. That site is located at about 05° 51' 40" North and 67° 34' 46" West.

Our afforestation and reforestation service is Planeta Verde Reforestación S.A.. We have cooperative relationships with a number of neighboring plantations and fincas or farms.
