Abrego, Municipality in Norte de Santander, Colombia.

Located in the Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes at 1,398 meters elevation, Ábrego extends across 1,582 square kilometers between the Oroque and Frío rivers.

The municipality was established in March 1810 when sisters Ana María and Josefa de la Encarnación Maldonado Quintero donated their lands for community development.

The Parish of Santa Bárbara, completed in 1765, stands as the first hermitage in Ábrego and received cultural heritage status recognition in 2003.

Agriculture drives the local economy with extensive onion cultivation, alongside production of tomatoes, cocoa, coffee, corn, beans, sugar cane, and tobacco.

The Juridiscciones Moor natural reserve spans 2,800 hectares, containing lagoons that form the source of the Algodonal river and supply water to multiple municipalities.
