The article examines the poporo (Sugi/Yo'burv/Damburru) of the Kogi, Iku, Wiwa, and Kankuama cultures, which inhabit the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, located in Northern Colombia. The research articulates a series of conversations with indigenous people from the SNSM during the last five years. The methodological approach used was shared ethnography From this research study an analysis shows the mythical considerations about the poporo of each one of the indigenous groups and exposes the metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical contents that it is possible to derive from the action of poporear The obtained findings constitute the possibility of carrying out a dialogue between cultures and perspectives on the fundamental elements of a worldview: metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, together with how they are related and presented. The gathered evidence allows us to recognize that in the ancestral societies that populate the SNSM, it is possible to distinguish the distinctive elements of a worldview conceptually. Such indication, however does not imply the possibility of specializing in executing one of them to the detriment of the others.

Keywords : Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; Poporo; Metaphysics; Epistemology; Ethics.
