History
The region was known during the Inca period as Muyupampa and held significance in early colonial times. It became one of the first areas to break away from Spanish rule in 1821.

Agriculture shapes daily life here, with farming families working lands that have been cultivated for generations. The crops grown—coffee, rice, and cocoa—are central to how communities organize their calendars and celebrations.
