Quicuima

Quicuima was an Indigenous leader in the mountainous country around Ibagué, on the eastern side of the Central Cordillera. Spanish attempts to establish a town there met determined resistance. After the founding of Ibagué in 1550, Quicuima joined another leader, Títamo, in attacks on the newcomers. The fighting helped prompt the relocation of the Spanish settlement the following year. These struggles formed part of the wider conflict between colonial forces and the peoples known to the Spaniards as Pijao.

The later city of Ibagué lies here.
