Engativá, Administrative district in western Bogotá, Colombia.

The tenth locality of Bogotá spans 35.88 square kilometers at an elevation of 2,600 meters above sea level, bordered by the Salitre and Bogotá rivers.

The territory, originally part of the Muisca confederation, began its modern development in 1537 and transformed into an agricultural zone for Bogotá by 1571.

The district maintains 555 parks, seven shopping centers, and multiple educational facilities that support the daily activities of its 878,430 residents.

The locality connects to central Bogotá through multiple transportation routes, with Avenida El Dorado and Avenida Carrera 68 serving as primary access points.

The name derives from Chibcha words 'Engue-tivá,' translating to 'captain of the delicious people,' reflecting its indigenous heritage.
