In 1850, Venezuelan artist Carmelo Fernández stood at the edge of the Furatena Strait in the Minero River valley of Santander, Colombia, painting what he saw as part of the Comisión Corográfica — Colombia's first comprehensive scientific expedition led by Agustín Codazzi. What he captured in watercolor was not merely a landscape: it was a place saturated with legend, named after Fura and Tena, the mythical Muisca guardians of Colombia's emerald mines, whose story of love, betrayal, and transformation had been woven into the landscape for centuries.
