Guaviare is in the southern central region of the country. Its capital is San José del Guaviare. Guaviare was created on July 4, 1991 by the new Political Constitution of Colombia. Up until that point, it was a national territory that operated as a Commissariat, segregated from territory of the then Commissariat of Vaupés on December 23, 1977.

San José del Guaviare is a municipality and capital of Guaviare by the Guaviare River. Calamar is the biggest town in the department.

The Guaviare river is a tributary of the Orinoco. The Guaviare has its source in two other rivers, the Ariari and the Guayabero, which in turn have their own sources in the eastern part of the Andes. At 1,497 km (907 miles) long, it is the longest river on the Orinoco and is navagatable for 630 km (391 miles) of its total length. The Guaviare is considered the border between the Llanos and the Amazon Rainforest. Its main tributary is the Inírida River

The Nukak, an uncontacted tribe before 1988, live here. They are a nomadic tribe.
