Villarrica is a town and municipality in the Tolima Department of Colombia.

Most workers work in agriculture or cattle ranching.

The Villarrica region was inhabited in pre-Columbian times by the Cuindes and Cundayes.

Villarrica was hidden behind the Andes mountain range and a thick forest, and the indigenous population was to a great extent undisturbed until 1920, when Don Francisco Pineda López founded an estate called Villarica.
