Key Facts

Samaniego is a municipality located in the Nariño Department of southwestern Colombia. Situated in the mountainous Andean region, it lies approximately 100 kilometers northeast of the departmental capital of Pasto, positioned within the complex topography of the Colombian Massif. With an estimated population of around 15,000 residents, Samaniego covers an area of approximately 780 square kilometers, characterized by its varied elevations ranging from temperate valleys to high-altitude páramo ecosystems. The municipality is administratively divided into multiple corregimientos (sub-municipal divisions) and veredas (rural districts), reflecting its dispersed settlement pattern across challenging terrain. Economically, the region relies primarily on agriculture, with coffee cultivation representing a significant activity alongside traditional farming of potatoes, corn, and other highland crops. Samaniego's location places it within an important ecological transition zone between the Andean forests and páramo habitats, contributing to its biodiversity significance within the department. The municipality serves as a local administrative and commercial center for surrounding rural communities while maintaining strong cultural traditions rooted in the region's indigenous and mestizo heritage.
