The Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Leguízamo-Solano (Latin: Apostolicus Vicariatus Portus Leguizamensis-Solanensis) is a Latin missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in southern Colombia.

It is exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See, not part of any ecclesiastical province.

Its cathedral episcopal see is Catedral Nuestra Señora del Carmen, dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, located in the town of Puerto Leguízamo, in Putumayo department.

History

On 21 February 2013 Pope Benedict XVI established the Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Leguízamo–Solano, on territory split off from the then Apostolic Vicariate of San Vicente-Puerto Leguízamo, the remainder of which was soon after renamed the Apostolic Vicariate of San Vicente del Caguán.[1][2]
