Puerto Carreño is the capital city and municipality of the Vichada Department in eastern Colombia. Located at the strategic confluence of the Meta and Orinoco rivers, this remote settlement serves as the administrative and commercial hub for Colombia's largest but least populated department. With an approximate population of around 15,000 people, Puerto Carreño covers a municipal area of approximately 12,409 square kilometers, making it one of Colombia's most sparsely populated urban centers. The municipality is divided into several corregimientos (townships) and veredas (rural districts) that extend across the vast plains and river systems of the Orinoco basin. Positioned on Colombia's eastern frontier, Puerto Carreño faces Venezuela directly across the Orinoco River, giving it significant geopolitical importance as a border crossing point. The city's economy revolves around river transportation, fishing, cattle ranching, and limited tourism focused on the unique ecosystems of the Llanos Orientales. As the primary urban center in this remote region, Puerto Carreño provides essential services and infrastructure for accessing postal code information and administrative services throughout its municipal subdivisions.
