Yotoco, Municipality in Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
The municipality extends over 390 square kilometers of land, incorporating both flat areas along the Cauca River and mountainous regions of Cordillera Occidental.
Spanish Captain Diego Rengifo Salazar established the settlement in 1622, which evolved from a vice-parish in 1777 to an independent municipality in the early 1900s.
The municipality houses one of Colombia's three music schools named Rey de los vientos, fostering musical education and preserving regional artistic traditions.
Located 51 kilometers from Cali and 269 kilometers from Bogotá, Yotoco connects to major Colombian cities through a network of regional highways.
The name derives from Yotat, referring to the traditional blowguns used by indigenous inhabitants who occupied these lands before Spanish colonization.
