Ibagué (2005 pop. 465,859) is the capital of the department of Tolima in Colombia. It is situated 1,285 m (4,216 ft) above sea level, on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Central between the Chipalo and Combeima rivers, tributaries of the Coello River. It is on the road from Armenia to Bogotá, near the pass that connects to the Cauca Valley, and as a result is a commercial center. It also benefits from the beautiful surrounding mountains and the nearby getaway villa of Villa Restrepo. The surrounding countryside produces coffee, cacao, tobacco, sugarcane, and rice.
