Tranquilandia was a large cocaine-processing complex operated by the Medellín Cartel in the Llanos del Yarí region of southern Colombia, spanning areas of the Caquetá and Meta near the Yarí River. Discovered and destroyed by the Colombian National Police with support from the U.S. DEA in March 1984, the site became one of the first public demonstrations of the industrial scale of the Medellín network’s cocaine production.
