Aburrá Valley, Natural river basin in Antioquia Department, Colombia.
The Aburrá Valley extends 60 kilometers through Colombia's Central Range, containing ten municipalities including Medellín, Bello, and Envigado.
Archaeological evidence reveals continuous human settlements in the valley dating back 10,500 years, with indigenous groups such as Aburrá and Yamesí inhabiting the region.
The valley's name derives from the Aburrá indigenous people, who developed advanced skills in agriculture, textile production, and metalworking before Spanish colonization.
The region's elevation varies from 1,300 to 3,100 meters above sea level, creating different climate zones throughout the Metropolitan Area's 1,157 square kilometers.
The Metropolitan Area of Aburrá Valley, established in 1980, represents Colombia's first officially designated metropolitan area, now housing 4 million residents.
