Located at 2,566 meters above sea level, Cota extends across 55 square kilometers within the Bogotá metropolitan area, bordering Chía and Funza.
The Spanish colonial administration established Cota on November 29, 1604, through an order from Diego Gómez de Mena, moving its capital to Tres Esquinas in 1873.
