Neiva
Sitting on the eastern bank of the Magdalena River, with the Central and Oriental mountain ranges visible on either side, Neiva is the capital of Colombia's Huila department and carries the informal title of "Capital of the Magdalena River." The city's economy draws on ecotourism, gastronomy, and commerce, and it is also recognized as "La Capital Bambuquera de América," a nod to its association with the bambuco musical tradition.
