An 1853 watercolor by Manuel María Paz (1820−1902) depicts three Indians by the Tapaje River, located in what was then the Province of Barbacoas: a boy fashioning a clay pot, a boy holding a commercially manufactured clay bottle, and an adult woman holding a paddle.[2][3]

In 2007, Afro-Colombian human rights activists requested assistance and protection for "Afro-Colombian communities in the Tapaje River" due to "recent combat operations between the Colombian Naval Forces of the Pacific, paramilitaries, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)."[4] "Several hundred families were displaced," according to the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting,[5] and over 7,200 people fled to El Charco, a "small port town" located "at the mouth of the Tapaje River", according to a report from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.[6][7]
