Facatativá
Facatativá is a town and municipality in the Cundinamarca Department, located about 18 miles (31 km) northwest of Bogotá, Colombia and 2,586 meters above sea level. The city is known for its Archaeological Park Piedras del Tunjo (Rocks of the Tunjo Indian)and best known in Colombia as ''Piedras del Tunjo ''(Literally stones of Tunjo), although locals call it ''Piedras de Tunja'' (Rocks of Tunja). It features large rock formations that were once the bottom of a lake.
==Etymology==
The word Facatativá comes from the indigenous Chibcha language spoken by the Muisca people. It has been translated and interpreted differently over time. The historically accepted translation is "fenced fort at the end of the plains" (''Cercado fuerte al final de la llanura'') although it has also been translated as "fenced fort outside the farming soil" (''Cercado fuerte a las afueras de la labranza'')〔(Nuestro municipio > Información general - Facatativá )〕 This refers to the town being at the edge of the Bogota Savanna Plateau.
