Ibague is a Colombian
municipality located in the
center-west of Colombia, on the
Central Cordillera of the Andes

the Nevado del Tolima.
Dulima mountain
The Nevado del Tolima (also
known as the Dulima mountain
since before the conquest by the
indigenous natives) is a volcano
located in the Central Cordillera
of the Andes of Colombia, in the
jurisdiction of the Tolima
municipalities of Anzotegui and
IBAGUE TOLIMA-DULIMA MOUNTAIN Ibagu.
The Cacica Dulima was a pijao
indigenous, the Spaniards
thought that she was the
guardian of a great treasure,
reason why they accused her of
witchcraft so that it was
executed and thus rob it. Andrs
Lpez de Galarza acceded to
such condemnation and
attacked the temple of Dulima
decapitating the guardians and
after a false judgment they
condemned it to the flames like a
witch. After his death the
Spaniards discovered that the
only treasure of which the cacica
was guardian was the freedom
of the pijao people.

The most recognized cultural
events of Ibagu is its Folk
Festival which takes place every
year, in June, on the eve of the
celebrations of San Juan and
San Pedro. At this time, the city
dresses up as a party, squares
and parks become the best
musical stages where people
dance to traditional Andean
rhythms: sanjuaneros,
bambucos and corridors.
