Cauca Department (Spanish: Departamento del Cauca) is a Department of Southwestern Colombia.
Located in the southwestern part of the country, facing the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Valle del Cauca Department to the north, Tolima Department to the northeast, Huila Department to the east, and Nariño Department to the south. Putumayo and Caqueta Departments border the southeast portion of Cauca Department as well.
It covers a total area of 29,308 km² (11,316 sq mi), the 13th largest in Colombia.
NOTE: Not to be confused with the Valle del Cauca Department.
Its capital is the city of Popayán.
The offshore island of Malpelo belongs to the department.
It is located in the southwest of the country, mainly in the Andean and Pacific regions (between 0°58′54″N and 3°19′04″N latitude, 75°47′36″W and 77°57′05″W longitude) plus a tiny part (Piamonte) in the Amazonian region.
The area includes 2.56% of the country.
