The <strong>Achaguas<\/strong>, the earliest inhabitants, practiced farming and used <strong>yopa<\/strong> in their rituals. Jesuits arriving in the 17th century turned the area into a center for livestock and agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yopal<\/strong> came into being as a crossroads in <strong>1915<\/strong> when <strong>El\u00edas Granados<\/strong> set up an estancia for mule drivers. By 1932, the first school opened, and by 1934, the first celebrations echoed with the <strong>Tasco<\/strong> band. The small settlement quickly flourished, becoming a key commercial hub in the 50s and 60s, attracting waves of migrants fleeing <strong>La Violencia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 90s were a golden age with the discovery of oil in <strong>Cusiana<\/strong> and <strong>Cupiagua<\/strong>, transforming <strong>Yopal<\/strong> into a center of oil activities and massive migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Today<\/strong>, with reserves dwindling, the department is focusing on tourism. Some of the vast <strong>hatos<\/strong> have been partially transformed into natural reserves, becoming paradises for wildlife observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
