Sevilla, Valle del Cauca

Sevilla is a municipality situated in the highlands of Valle del Cauca located in the northeastern part of the region. The territory encompasses diverse terrain used primarily for agricultural purposes and natural landscapes.

The settlement was founded in 1903 under the name San Luis and was renamed Sevilla when it became a municipality in 1914. This change reflected a new phase in the community's administrative and social development.

Coffee farming shapes daily life and land use across the municipality, with plantations visible throughout the territory. This agricultural tradition ties the community to Colombia's broader role in global coffee production.

The municipality is accessible from major Colombian cities and sits at an elevation that influences its climate and vegetation. Visitors should prepare for variable weather typical of highland regions.

Mining operations in the region extract gold, silver, and platinum, adding another economic dimension beyond agriculture. The land also produces citrus, bananas, sugar cane, and various vegetables alongside coffee crops.
