Humedal Juan Amarillo, Protected wetland in Suba, Colombia.

The Juan Amarillo wetland extends between Suba and Engativá districts, making it the largest protected water ecosystem in Bogotá at 222 hectares.

During the Muisca civilization period, chiefs from Suba, Funza, Cota, Engativá, and Chía gathered at this wetland to celebrate the Festival of Flowers.

The name Tibabuyes originates from the Chibcha language, translating to 'land of farmers', reflecting the agricultural practices of indigenous communities in this area.

A 1.2-kilometer elevated ecological pathway connects the communities of Suba and Engativá, allowing residents to cross the wetland by foot or bicycle.

The wetland houses 74 bird species, including the red-billed coot, yellow-billed coot, and spotted gallinule, which exclusively inhabit this water ecosystem.
