Abstract

Este trabajo analiza la geografía económica de la región amazónica colombiana, compuesta por los departamentos de Amazonas, Caquetá, Guainía, Guaviare, Putumayo y Vaupés. Para este propósito se describen las principales características físicas, demográficas, sociales y económicas. El comportamiento de los indicadores sugiere que se trata de una de las regiones menos prósperas de Colombia, lo que se ha traducido en condiciones de vida inferiores a las del resto del país. Al indagar por los factores explicativos de este rezago, se argumenta que el aislamiento geográfico y económico de la Amazonía colombiana ha limitado la conformación de economías regionales que potencialicen el crecimiento economico.
