Ibagué, Capital city in Tolima Department, Colombia

Located in the central mountain range of the Colombian Andes at 1285 meters elevation, Ibague extends across valleys near Nevado del Tolima mountain.

Spanish captain Andrés López de Galarza established the city on October 14, 1550, moving it to its current location in 1551 due to local resistance.

The Conservatory of Tolima stands as a primary institution for musical education, reinforcing the city's status as Colombia's musical capital.

The Perales Airport connects Ibague with daily flights to Bogota and Medellin, while the bus terminal provides routes to major Colombian cities.

The textile industry of Ibague ranks as the third largest in Colombia, contributing significantly to the regional manufacturing sector.
