Through Bogotá

With the planned construction of Avenida Longitudinal de Occidente/Cundinamarca Highway, there will have to be built an overpass, which will affect the wetlands. The indigenous community and the inhabitants of the neighbourhoods surrounding the place are opposed to it.

Etymology

The name Tibabuyes comes from Muysccubun, the language of the indigenous Muisca, who inhabited the Bogotá savanna before the Spanish conquest, and means "land of the farmers".
