Gaitania, Coffee settlement in Tolima, Colombia
Located between mountain ranges, Gaitania sits at altitudes from 1,400 to 5,355 meters, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 25 degrees Celsius.
Founded in 1920 as Atá, the settlement changed its name to Gaitania in recognition of Colombian political leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán.
The area contains a Paez indigenous community that maintains its traditions and language alongside the predominant mestizo and white population.
The region produces Single Origin Arabica coffee beans, including Castillo and Caturra varieties, cultivated at elevations between 700 and 1900 meters.
Gaitania stands as the only Colombian settlement that maintained an active peace treaty established by the Paez indigenous community during internal conflicts.
