A brief history
Pereira marks its founding on 30 August 1863. The settlement grew on the site of old Cartago and became a meeting point for the region’s roads, markets and communities.
Trade and coffee help explain the city today: the capital of Risaralda connects urban life with rural districts and protected areas in Colombia’s Central Andes.
