Piedras
8.2
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Piedras is known nationally for one thing: in 2013 it held Colombia's first popular consultation (consulta popular) and voted 2,971 to 24 against a gold and silver mining project by AngloGold Ashanti — a landmark moment in Colombian environmental democracy. The town itself has a population under 7,000 and is a pure agricultural community. That civic history is interesting trivia; the social infrastructure is not.
Mid score (6-8)
Small agricultural municipality near Ibagué that made Colombian legal history with its 2013 anti-mining referendum. The town itself is a quiet farming community with no visitor infrastructure. The story is more interesting than the place.
Lower score (below 6)
Piedras has nothing to offer a visitor beyond its famous referendum story. Small population, agricultural economy, no nightlife or accommodation of note. Use Ibagué, 30 minutes away, for anything social.
