Pitalito, Coffee production center in Huila Department, Colombia
Located in the Magdalena River valley at 1,318 meters elevation, Pitalito features fertile volcanic soil and three major rivers creating a rich ecosystem.
The municipality emerged in 1818 when residents of Laboyos relocated to the area, drawn by the fertile land and favorable climate conditions.
The Pitalito National Craft Fair displays regional artistry through clay figures depicting local transportation vehicles and traditional Colombian objects.
Travelers can reach Pitalito by bus from Neiva, taking three and a half hours, or from Bogota with a journey time of nine to ten hours.
The municipality has earned multiple Gold Cup awards for its coffee production, characterized by high acidity and flavors of stone fruit and caramel.
