Bogotá savanna
The Savanna of Bogotá is a high plateau located in the center of Colombia on the eastern cordillera of the Colombian Andes. It is on the southern part of a larger plateau called Altiplano Cundiboyacense that rises to an average altitude of 2600 mts (8500 ft) above sea level.
This plateau is crossed from north to south by the Bogotá River, which at the southwestern edge of the plateau forms the Tequendama Falls (Salto Tequendama). Other rivers, tributaries of the Bogotá river, form smaller valleys with very fertile soils dedicated to agriculture and cattle-breeding.
== History ==
At the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors the region was inhabited by the Muisca people who lived in hundreds of villages scattered across the plateau. These villages were individually ruled by chiefs (caciques) who at the same time paid tribute to the Zipa, as they called their king. Once the Muisca rulers were defeated, the Spaniards engaged in the construction of Spanish-style towns to replace all the indigenous villages and to force the Indians to live like the Spaniards. The majority of those villages kept their indigenous names, but some were slightly modified in time, like Suacha which became Soacha, Hyntiba becoming Fontibón and Bacatá becoming Bogotá.
