Valledupar is the birthplace of vallenato, Colombia's most popular musical genre, and hosts the annual Vallenato Legend Festival that draws visitors from across the country and abroad. The city sits in a valley between the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Serranía del Perijá, on the banks of the Guatapurí river. Beyond music, it serves as a regional hub for agriculture, cattle ranching, and coal mining in northeastern Colombia's Cesar Department.
