Muisca Culture Tour

On this Muisca tour of Tunja, uncover the pre-Hispanic legacy of the Boyaca region as you explore vestiges of the Amerindian indigenous people.

Highlights

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Tunja and head to Hunzahua Well, a sacred site for the ancient Hunza people, a key city of the Muisca civilization in pre-Columbian times.

Next, we'll visit the Los Cojines del Zaque Archaeological Park, an ancient Muisca sanctuary that acted as an astronomical study center and an offering site. We will also explore the history of the Loma de los Ahorcados.

Our following destination is Moyas de San Ricardo, where we will investigate the remains of an ancient Muisca planetarium. We will also observe pictograms along the Farfacá River and appreciate Muisca culture-themed murals throughout Tunja.

We will then dine at a downtown Tunja restaurant, enjoying a traditional Boyacá lunch consisting of an appetizer, a choice of meat or fish for the main course, and a beverage. While eating, we will discuss the gastronomic traditions of the Muisca people.

After our meal, we will return to Tunja, approximately 7 hours after pickup.
