  • Cómo llegar

The Muisca Indigenous Community of Suba has inhabited the territory of Bogotá for over 2,000 years, long before the arrival of the colonizers. Composed of 3,400 families organized into 13 clans, its history dates back to before the founding of Suba as a reservation in 1602 and as a municipality in 1875. Despite the challenges it has faced, this community has kept its traditions and its connection to the land alive.

Recognized as a Special Public Entity by the Ministry of the Interior and the Mayor's Office of Bogotá, the community remains organized under its traditional authorities, preserving its culture and strengthening its councils dedicated to health, education, and community life. Despite urban growth and the loss of territory, the Muisca of Suba have managed to adapt, maintaining their cultural identity.

The community defines itself as contemporary Muisca, demonstrating that its evolution has not implied a break with the past, but rather a reaffirmation of its identity. Visiting the Muisca Council of Suba is an experience that allows tourists to connect with an ancestral people who continue to share their knowledge and traditions in the middle of the city.
