Funza, Administrative municipality in Cundinamarca, Colombia.
Located within the Western Savanna Province at 2,548 meters elevation, Funza extends over 67 square kilometers of the Bogota savanna region.
The Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada established Funza in 1537 during his expedition, at the location of former Muisca settlement Bacata.
The name Funza originates from the Chibcha language, translating to 'Powerful Lord' and reflecting the area's connection to Muisca civilization leadership.
