Ebejico Mountains

The mountains around Ebéjico overlook valleys in western Antioquia. Before Spanish conquest, the surrounding valley was inhabited by communities known as Ebexico and Peque, associated in the local account with the Nutabes.

In 1595 Gaspar de Rodas went to Ebéjico after defeating Indigenous inhabitants, distributing land to the victors and placing local people under the authority of Captain Manuel López Bravo. In 1833 Governor Juan de Dios Aranzazu established the parish of Ebéjico with its seat in the Miraflores valley.
