Circasia

Circasia is a municipality located in the north of the department of Quindío, Colombia. It is located 7 km north of the departmental capital, Armenia, and is part of the metropolitan area of the same. Being located in the coffee growing region of Colombia, one of the main economic activities of Circasia is the cultivation of coffee. Other products such as yucca and potatoes are also grown. In recent years, Circasia has become one of the most important tourist attractions in Quindío. The municipality's main park is home to a large number of commercial establishments and there are some attractive sites for tourists, such as the Free Cemetery, the Bremen Nature Reserve and the Alto de la Cruz viewpoint.

The department of Quindío is the smallest of the country's continental territory, with a surface area of 1,845 km2. It stands out in the country for the strong roots of the coffee culture and for its natural wealth, represented by exuberant vegetation and a great diversity of ecosystems.

A couple of facts demonstrate the importance of coffee in this region: all of Quindío's 12 municipalities are coffee producers, and 207 of its 267 villages are coffee-growing. The department is the twelfth largest coffee producer in the country (out of 20), with an estimated annual production of 666,000 60-kilogram bags of green coffee or, in other words, 6 % of the Colombian harvest.

Quindío is one of the departments that make up the Eje Cafetero, which was once abundant in coffee crops before being devastated by a major earthquake in 1999. From then on, its expansion and recognition began to be directed towards tourism for its beautiful landscapes and colonial towns. Today, its fertile land continues to be attractive for coffee and other crops, especially in the mountain range area in the municipalities of: Pijao, Buenavista and Génova where soils rich in organic matter are still preserved.
