Key Facts

Cacahual is a corregimiento (municipal subdivision) located in the Guainía Department of southeastern Colombia, situated near the country's border with Brazil. This remote settlement lies in the Amazon rainforest region, positioned along the banks of the Atabapo River, which forms part of the natural boundary between Colombia and Venezuela. Cacahual serves as an important river port and administrative center for the surrounding indigenous communities, primarily inhabited by the Curripaco and Puinave peoples who maintain traditional ways of life while engaging in fishing, subsistence agriculture, and small-scale commerce. The corregimiento covers approximately 12,000 square kilometers of dense tropical rainforest and riverine ecosystems, with a population of around 2,000 residents living in scattered settlements throughout the territory. Cacahual is divided into several smaller communities and indigenous reserves that preserve ancestral traditions and governance structures. As a border settlement, it plays a strategic role in regional trade and cultural exchange while facing challenges related to infrastructure development and access to basic services. This location provides access to postal code information for its constituent communities and surrounding areas within the Guainía Department.
