Palestina's airport "Aeropuerto Internacional del Café", enables export cargo especially given the proximity to the city of Manizales (important industrial center), the diversity of agriculture and agribusiness in its area of influence – municipalities comprising the departments of Risaralda, Caldas, Quindio and the north of Valle del Cauca.

This town has very different climatic zones, because its territory is from the banks of the Cauca River, to the county seat located at the top of the mountain.
