Rain tree (Saman) of Guacarí. This tree planted in 1914 in the municipal garden of the city of Guacarí in eastern Colombia has grown and participated in the life of the community. The first symptoms of a disease that occurred in 1989 triggered an unprecedented mobilization of the population to save this venerable tree. Today this tree has become a real national symbol.
