Andaki

The Andakí, also called Andaquí, lived in the upper Caquetá basin and neighbouring valleys on the eastern slopes of the Colombian Andes. The region linked the Andean foothills with the forests and rivers of the Amazonian drainage. The name also appears as Aguanunga or Churuba.

Spanish accounts mention the Andakí in the late sixteenth century. In 1637 they and the Pijao attacked an expedition led by Francisco Dias. Resistance to colonial expansion continued into the eighteenth century; an uprising in 1721 involved several Indigenous peoples of Caquetá and Putumayo. These events describe a wider region.

The later city of Florencia lies here.
