Is this where the spirit of the Yumbos lingers? Yumbo. A captivating town nestled in the heart of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Right here, just a stone’s throw from the bustling city of Cali, Yumbo stands as a testament to Colombia’s rich history and industrial prowess. Founded in 1536 by Miguel Muñoz, Yumbo was once home to the indigenous “Yumbo’s” tribe. The tribe was known for their deep understanding of natural medicine, utilizing the bountiful plants of their environment. They shared this knowledge with neighboring tribes, earning both admiration and a touch of mystique. Some even whispered that the Yumbos practiced witchcraft. Yumbo today is known as the “Industrial Capital of Valle del Cauca”. It’s a powerhouse of economic activity, home to over 523 industrial, commercial, and service companies. But Yumbo is more than just factories and commerce. It’s a town where the echoes of the past blend seamlessly with the rhythm of modern life, a place where the spirit of the Yumbos lives on in the warmth of its people and the captivating beauty of its surroundings.
