Montenegro, Municipality in western Quindío Department, Colombia
Montenegro municipality sits 1,286 meters above sea level between Armenia and Quimbaya, surrounded by the Roble, Espejo, and La Vieja rivers.
The region attracted over 1,500 treasure hunters from Antioquia during the 1880s, searching for gold artifacts in indigenous burial grounds.
The Coffee Cultural Landscape designation by UNESCO in 2011 recognizes the municipality's role in Colombian coffee production and heritage.
Regular bus services connect Montenegro to Armenia and Quimbaya, with carriers like Nuevo Rapido operating along the main streets.
The National Coffee Park features both museum exhibits about coffee production and an amusement park section connected by gondola lifts.
