Calarcá, Coffee municipality in Quindío, Colombia.
Located at 1573 meters above sea level, Calarcá extends across the eastern section of Quindío Department, 4 kilometers from the capital city Armenia.
The municipality emerged in 1886 through the efforts of Segundo Henao, initially developing through mining activities before transitioning to coffee production in the 1930s.
The municipality earned recognition as part of the Coffee Cultural Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, reflecting its agricultural and social significance.
The local transportation network connects Calarcá to major Colombian cities through maintained roads, while numerous coffee farms offer agricultural tours to visitors.
Local festivals include the National Coffee Festival and Desfile del Yipao, where decorated Willys Jeeps display the region's coffee harvesting traditions.
