Dibulla

Dibulla stretches between the Caribbean Sea and Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, encompassing 1,847 square kilometers of coastal and mountainous terrain at 2 meters elevation.

Spanish explorers first documented the indigenous village of Yaharo in 1502, which later transformed into Dibulla through centuries of colonial and administrative changes.

The region maintains strong connections to Koguis and Guanebucanes ethnic groups, descendants of the Tairona civilization, who preserve their traditional practices and customs.

Located 74 kilometers from Riohacha, Dibulla contains five administrative subdivisions, two police stations, and twenty-nine rural districts across its territory.

The municipality sits at the intersection of two major water sources, with both the Dibulla River and Jerez River flowing through its boundaries.
