| description | This paper analyzed how the configuration of landscape elements in the department of Caquetá, southern Colombia, allows or restricts the spread of flows involved in the ecological connectivity between the Andes and the Amazon, since this department is located in the transitional zone of these two regions. From a landscape ecology approach, the elements that make up this landscape were grouped into five planetary systems: atmospheric, hydrospheric, geospheric, biospheric and anthropospheric. The conditions of the elements selected for each system were assessed by assigning them a cost from 1 to 10 and then representing them by means of a cost surface, which allows a systemic understanding of the dynamics of connectivity and makes it easier to know where and in what way the configuration of the landscape restricts or favors the movement of flows, relationships or ecological processes. This cost surface allowed us to understand that the configuration of the landscape of the department in 83% of its area allows connectivity with a high movement of flows between the Andes and the Colombian Amazon. |

En este trabajo se analizó cómo la configuración de los elementos del paisaje del departamento del Caquetá, al sur de Colombia, permite o restringe la propagación de flujos involucrados en la conectividad ecológica entre los Andes y la Amazonía, ya que este departamento se encuentra en la zona transicional de estas dos regiones. Desde el enfoque de la ecología del paisaje, se agruparon los elementos que componen este paisaje en cinco sistemas planetarios: atmosférico, hidrosférico, geosférico, biosférico y antroposférico. Se valoraron las condiciones de los elementos seleccionados por cada sistema asignándole un costo de 1 a 10 para posteriormente representarlos por medio de una superficie de costo, lo cual permite comprender de manera sistémica la dinámica de conectividad y facilita saber dónde y de qué manera la configuración del paisaje restringe o favorece el movimiento de los flujos, las relaciones o los procesos ecológicos. Esta superficie de costo permitió entender que la configuración del paisaje del departamento en un 83% de su área permite la conectividad con un alto movimiento de flujos entre los Andes y la Amazonia colombiana. Neste trabalho se analisou como a configuração dos elementos da paisagem do departamento de Caquetá, no sul da Colômbia, permite ou restringe a propagação de fluxos envolvidos na conectividade ecológica entre os Andes e a Amazônia, já que este departamento se encontra na zona transicional destas duas regiões. Desde a abordagem da ecologia da paisagem, agruparam-se os elementos que compõem esta paisagem em cinco sistemas planetários: atmosférico, hidrosférico, geosférico, biosférico e antroposférico. Foram valorizadas as condições dos elementos selecionados por cada sistema atribuindo-lhe um custo de 1 a 10 para posteriormente representá-los por meio de uma superfície de custo, o que permite uma compreensão de maneira sistémica da dinâmica de conectividade e facilita saber onde e de que maneira a configuração da paisagem restringe ou favorece a circulação de fluxos, as relações ou os processos ecológicos. Esta superfície de custo permitiu entender que a configuração da paisagem do departamento em 83% de sua área permite a conectividade com um alto movimento de fluxos entre os Andes e a Amazônia colombiana.
