Florencia (Spanish pronunciation: [floˈɾensja], English: Florence) is a municipality and the capital city of the Department of Caquetá, Colombia.

In 1542, the territory was explored for the first time by the Spanish conquistador, Hernán Pérez de Quesada.

Rubber plantations around several areas of what is now known as the department of Caqueta encouraged the creation of the city next to the Hacha River [es].

[8] The city became an important site after the creation of the trail between the settlement and the town of Guadalupe in what is now the department of Huila.

Florencia has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af), and experiences significant rainfall during the course of the year.
