Caucasia

Caucasia is a municipal center in the Bajo Cauca region where two major rivers meet and create a landscape of flat terrain dotted with gentle rises. The location supports livestock farming and agricultural activities that form the backbone of the local economy.

The settlement was founded in the late 1800s when a family established a village near the river and named it after trees that grew in the area. This modest beginning grew into an important administrative center for the region.

Local traditions shape the calendar through celebrations tied to agriculture and the rivers that define the region. These gatherings bring together the community to honor what sustains daily life here.

The town is well connected to other parts of the region through a major bridge that facilitates travel between communities. Basic services like lodging, food, and local commerce are available to support a comfortable stay.

A remarkable bridge connects this town to the broader region and stands among the longest road structures in the country. This infrastructure significantly transformed how isolated areas access the rest of the nation.
