One of the most beautiful towns in Colombia.
Fauna and Flora
The Iguaque Fauna and Flora Sanctuary is located in the department of Boyacá in the jurisdiction of the municipalities of Arcabuco.
- Chíquiza, Sáchica and Villa de Leyva, with heights from 2,400 to 3,850 meters above sea level. It is the only dry paramo ecosystem represented in the national system of national natural parks.
According to Muisca mythology (Chibcha macro language), Iguaque means “Cradle of Humanity”.
Little has been explored in what that gap implied in the feeling of the Muiscas as the site of the origin of the Human genre and of the manifestations that the indigenous people of Iguaque developed.

As the light appeared and were created by all things, it came out from the Iguaque lagoon a beautiful woman, who was holding a child about three years old.
The woman was called Bachué or Fuzachogua which means «good woman».
Going down to the place where the town of Iguaque is, he built a house where he lived until the boy was old enough to procreate and married him.
Each time he had four or six children, so that all the land came to be populated, and when they were old, they called many people to accompany them.
And going up to the edge of the lagoon.
Bachué gave them a heartfelt talk, exhorting them to keep the precepts that he had given them to venerate the gods, to be good to avoid evil.
Immediately they said goodbye with great clamor and tears from all the attendees, and they became husband and wife in two great snakes that plunged into the lagoon.
And the peoples, children of this couple, worshiped them and counted among their gods and the Iguaque lagoon has been sacred ever since ”(Mito Muisca).
A special feature of the Chibcha people was their religious worship towards the water.
The name of the Iguaque lagoon was changed to Laguna de San Pedro, due to the colonization and evangelization of the Spanish missionaries.
Who sought to impose the creed to eradicate other beliefs.
