Municipalities of Colombia Forum
The Municipalities of Colombia are decentralized subdivisions of the Republic of Colombia. Municipalities made up most of the departments of Colombia with 1,119 municipalities (municipios). Each one of them is led by a Mayor (Alcalde) elected by popular vote and represents the maximum executive government official at a municipality level under the mandate of the governor of their department which is a representative of all municipalities in the Department; Municipalities are grouped to form departments.
The municipalities of Colombia are also grouped in an association called the Federacion Colombiana de Municipios (Colombian Federation of Municipalities) which functions as a union under the private law and under the constitutional right to free association to defend their common interests. [*]
The municipalities are listed below, by department:
Amazonas Department
The Department of Amazonas is formed by two municipalities which are Leticia and Puerto Narino; and by "department corregimientos" which is a special combined functions between a municipality and a corregimiento. The reason for this classification is that the large territory is mostly inhospitable, inhabited only by indigenous peoples and within the Amazon rainforest.
