Sumario:In this article I show how the people from the Sinú valley on the Caribbean lowlands shaped my ethographical training. I approached them while studying mechanical engineering at the Universidad de los Andes and as member of that university’s Community Development Team. The cultural diversities that I discovered nourished the conversations that I began to have with Alicia and Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff as they were creating the Anthropology Department of the same school. The intensity of those dialogues not only made me change my major to anthropology, but to choose the study of the causes of violence as the theme of my future doctoral dissertation.
