Yarumal, Mountain municipality in Antioquia Department, Colombia.
Located at an elevation of 2,265 meters, Yarumal extends across 738 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in northern Antioquia Department.
The Spanish colonial settlement, initially named San Luis de Gongora, received its foundation charter on March 29, 1787, and gained municipal status in 1821.
The municipality derives its name from the Cecropia peltata tree, known locally as Yarumo, which grows abundantly throughout the surrounding forests.
The urban center contains three parishes, twenty villages, and educational facilities serving a population of over 41,000 residents across the municipality.
Medical researchers study the local population due to a high occurrence of early-onset Alzheimer's disease linked to a specific genetic mutation.
