The structure, inspired by the famous story of Greek mythology, is a large-scale representation of a wooden horse, but with a completely plain identity. Its design combines traditional elements of the region, such as guadua details and finishes that evoke the cultural riches of Casanare. For many, it is not just a monument, but a tribute to the strength and resilience of the Tauramenense people.
Since its installation, dozens of tourists and residents have come to the place to take photographs and learn more about the history behind this idea that was born as a community project and that today is positioned as a local symbol. Municipal authorities have seen the work as an opportunity to boost tourism, especially during festive seasons.
The Colombian “Trojan horse” has also generated conversation on social networks, where videos and photos circulate that show its size and particular design. Some users describe it as a mix between art and cultural memory, while others highlight the creativity of Casanareños by reinterpreting a historical figure from a regional perspective.
In addition to its visual appeal, the structure is projected as a meeting point for cultural activities, events and tourist tours. The local administration is working on strategies to make it part of a route that allows visitors to discover more of the history, gastronomy and traditions of Tauramena and its surroundings.
With this initiative, Tauramena demonstrates that the Llanera identity can be reinvented and dialogue with universal references, offering the country its own and authentic version of the Trojan horse. What started as a creative idea has become a symbol of pride, unity and development for this Casanareño community.
