Bogotá savanna
The Bogotá savanna
Tisquesusa
Tisquesusa
(† 1537)
The flat Bogotá savanna is clearly visible in the topography of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense. The flatlands are the fertile bottom of a Pleistocene lake that existed until around 30,000 years BP. The last zipa of the Muisca, ruling over the Bogotá savanna, was Tisquesusa, who was killed by one of the soldiers of the conquest expedition, opening up the reign of the Spanish over the terrain and the foundation of Bogotá
