San Vicente del Caguán is a town and municipality in Caquetá Department, Colombia.

Between 1998 and 2002, San Vicente del Caguán was the center of the demilitarized zone (DMZ), which was created as a safe haven for the FARC. Two days after the peace talks were ended, Ingrid Betancourt was kidnapped while entering the former DMZ.
