Aguadas, Heritage municipality in Norte region, Colombia
Aguadas sits at an elevation of 2,214 meters in the Caldas department, covering 482.7 square kilometers of mountainous terrain.
Founded in 1808 by José Narciso Estrada, Aguadas emerged from the remains of Santiago de Arma after settlers refused to relocate to Rionegro.
The National Festival of Colombian Pasillo takes place annually in Aguadas, making it the national center for this traditional music genre.
The municipality experiences a subtropical highland climate with temperatures ranging from 12°C to 21°C and consistent rainfall throughout the year.
Local artisans craft Aguadeño hats from iraca palm fibers, following techniques that earned the historic center national monument status in 1982.
