'''La Pedrera''' is a
== Proposal for Municipality Status ==
For several years, there has been a proposal to create a Colombian municipality in the Amazonas department, incorporating the non-municipalized areas of [[Mirití-Paraná]], La Victoria, and La Pedrera.
== Geography ==
La Pedrera borders the municipality of [[Taraira]] (Vaupés) to the north, the non-municipalized area of Mirití-Paraná to the northwest, Puerto Arica to the southwest, and Tarapacá to the south.
It is surrounded by the [[Río Puré National Natural Park]] and the [[Yaigojé Apaporis National Natural Park]].
== History ==
La Pedrera initially began as a [[Military Forces of Colombia|Colombian military]] base. Between July 10 and July 13, 1911, an incident known as the "[[Battle of La Pedrera|La Pedrera Conflict]]" occurred with [[Peru|Peruvian]] authorities. This led to the establishment of a modus vivendi zone to prevent further confrontations between the two nations. Eleven years later, after long and unsuccessful negotiations between Colombia and Peru, the [[Salomón–Lozano Treaty|Salomón-Lozano Treaty]] was signed on March 24, 1922. This treaty granted Colombia access to the [[Amazon River]] and gave Peru a border along the right bank of the [[Putumayo River]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=La obra diplomática del presidente Reyes: el modus vivendi con el Perú / carta dibujada en vista de documentos auténticos por F.
