Florencia, Administrative capital in Caquetá Department, Colombia
Florencia stretches along the Orteguaza River at the foot of the Cordillera Oriental mountain range, serving as the largest urban center in Colombia's Amazon region.
The settlement emerged near the Hacha River in 1902 when Capuchin Friar Doroteo De Pupiales established a community centered around regional rubber plantations.
The territory preserves the heritage of Andaquí, Witoto, and Coreguaje tribes through archaeological sites, including the El Encanto Petroglyphs with zoomorphic engravings.
The city maintains an average temperature of 26.1°C year-round, with January offering drier conditions and June bringing substantial rainfall patterns.
The Curiplaya Building, constructed in the 1950s and designated as national cultural property, houses multiple cultural organizations in its historic structure.
