The Macayepo massacre (Spanish: Masacre de Macayepo) occurred on October 14, 2000, resulting in the slaughter of fifteen peasants from Macayepo in the southern region of Bolívar Department, northern Colombia. It was one of a series of massacres perpetrated by the Colombian paramilitary bloc Héroes de los Montes de María, a unit of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), to obtain control over the area around the Montes de María mountains. The massacre also involved congressman Álvaro García Romero who was subsequently accused as a possible mastermind of the massacre. The area represents a centralized strategic path to travel easily to any department of the Caribbean Region.
