El Tiple is a village located in the municipality of Candelaria,[1] department of Valle del Cauca in Colombia.
It is located in the southwestern part of the municipality of Candelaria. To the north, it borders the village of San Joaquín; on the south, with the municipality of Puerto Tejada (Cauca), on the east, with the villages of Buchitolo and Cabuyal; and for the west, with the municipality of Cali, whose natural limit is the Cauca River. Its relief is completely flat, on the fertile valley of the Cauca river.
90% of its population belongs to the Afro-descendant ethnic community. Many people from this village work for the sugarcane mills of Valle del Cauca.
This ethnic community has been strongly impacted by the environmental liabilities generated by the sugarcane agroindustry.[2]
