Facatativá
Facatativá is a city 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, Rocks of Tunjo), although locals call it ''Piedras de Tunja'' (Rocks of Tunja).
