San Pedro (Spanish pronunciation: [sam ˈpeðɾo]) is a town and municipality located in the Department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia.

Founded by Jorge de Herrera y Gaitán in 1797, its first inhabitants were Indians called Chancos, who fought against the forces sent by Belarcarzal until well into the early eighteen hundreds.

[citation needed] San Pedro became famous for their fine musicians and composers.

Like any other South American town,[citation needed] San Pedro became Catholic from the very beginning.

There is a local pageant to elect their annual Senorita San Pedro.
