Key Facts

Puerto Guzmán is a municipality located in the Putumayo Department of southern Colombia, situated along the banks of the Putumayo River which forms part of the border with Ecuador and Peru. This strategically positioned municipality serves as an important administrative and commercial center in the Amazon region, characterized by its tropical rainforest climate and rich biodiversity. With an approximate population of around 30,000 people spread across its vast territory of approximately 11,000 square kilometers, Puerto Guzmán represents one of the key urban settlements in this remote frontier area. The municipality is divided into multiple corregimientos (sub-municipal divisions) and veredas (rural districts) that extend deep into the Amazon basin, including areas such as Puerto Limón, Santa Rosa, and other smaller settlements along the river network. Economically, the region depends on agriculture, fishing, small-scale mining, and commerce facilitated by river transportation along the Putumayo River system. As the administrative center for this extensive municipal territory, Puerto Guzmán provides essential services and governance for residents seeking to access postal code information and other administrative services for its various sub-regions and rural communities.
