Puerto López, River port municipality in Meta Department, Colombia

Puerto López extends over 6,740 square kilometers along the Meta River, serving as a transportation hub for agricultural and livestock products.

The settlement gained municipality status in 1935, developing from a small river port into an administrative center for the Meta Department region.

The central plaza of Puerto López fills with farmers during the weekly Mercado Campesino, where agricultural producers present local harvests.

The municipality provides transportation services to university students and maintains digital platforms for administrative procedures and citizen requests.

The Obelisco del Alto de Menegua marks Puerto López as the geographical center of Colombia at the intersection of 4 degrees north latitude.
