Summary
The municipality of Honda (Tolima—Colombia) is located at the convergence of the rivers Magdalena, Gualí River and Quebradaseca. With the purpose of identifying the role that the Magdalena River has had in this place, in addition to the repercussion in the commerce and the history of Colombia This process is developed through the urban redrawing of Honda during each of the important moments in urban growth (using CAD software) and comparing historical and current urban planimetry, aerial photographs, satellite images and a reinterpretation of the site during various field visits. Water and city Historically, water is a geographical element that conditions spatial organization, growth and productive activity of cities (Kostof, 2005; Whitehead, Smith, & Wade, 2011).1 In this sense, a universal constant in the development of civilizations has been the permanent linkage with a main river, understood as a natural element that makes life possible and contributes to optimize both economic and urban, cultural, social and the hydrographic biodiverse environment. From the beginning of the Spanish conquest in 1536 the Magdalena River has been up to the present a natural element forging dynamics that have contributed to enhance international-regional development
