About us
El Vaquero SFX is a company dedicated to the creation, design, assembly and execution of pyrotechnics and special effects in any entertainment space. Since its founding in 1951 in Colombia, El Vaquero has been a pioneer in producing fireworks shows in a variety of settings. In the early 2000s, El Vaquero, renowned for its innovation, began executing large-scale pyrotechnic shows synchronized with music (pyromusical).
To continue offering the best to our clients, in 2021, El Vaquero expanded its portfolio with the design, assembly, and execution of special effects shows, including swarm drone shows. This development has made El Vaquero SFX a comprehensive solution for entertainment needs, adaptable to any requirement.

We treat each team member, client, supplier, and authority with respect. We believe that respect is demonstrated through responsibility toward our colleagues, clients, equipment, and products.
