Cajamarca, Rural municipality in Tolima Department, Colombia
Nestled at 1,814 meters in the Andes Mountains, Cajamarca extends across 520 square kilometers of agricultural lands near the Pan-American Highway.
In 1913, Bishop Ismael Perdomo established the municipality of Cajamarca after purchasing lands where Antioquian settlers had started farming in 1886.
The municipality produces arracacha, an Andean parsnip that forms the foundation of local farming traditions and regional gastronomy.
The territory contains two main population centers, the town center of Cajamarca and Anaime, with a combined population of 17,309 residents.
In 2017, residents used a popular consultation mechanism to vote against the La Colosa gold mining project, leading to its suspension.
