Key Facts

Chiriguaná is a municipality located in the Central subregion of the Cesar Department in northern Colombia. Situated in the Caribbean region of the country, Chiriguaná lies approximately 50 kilometers southeast of the departmental capital Valledupar and occupies a strategic position within the fertile valley of the Cesar River. The municipality covers an area of approximately 1,063 square kilometers and has a population of around 25,000 residents according to recent estimates. Chiriguaná is administratively divided into several corregimientos (townships) and veredas (rural districts) that collectively form its municipal territory. The region's economy is primarily based on agriculture, with significant production of cotton, corn, sorghum, and livestock farming, benefiting from the rich alluvial soils of the Cesar River basin. Historically, the area was inhabited by indigenous Chimila communities before Spanish colonization, and the name 'Chiriguaná' itself has indigenous origins. The municipality's tropical savanna climate, characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons, supports its agricultural activities while also making it vulnerable to seasonal flooding from the Cesar River.
