Tocaima, Colonial municipality in Cundinamarca, Colombia.
The municipality of Tocaima stands at 530 meters elevation in the Upper Magdalena Province, surrounded by mountains and natural sulfur springs.
Spanish explorer Hernán Venegas Carrillo established Tocaima on March 20, 1544, naming it San Dionisio de los Caballeros de Tocaima.
The territory belonged to the Guacana tribe of the Panche nation, whose name comes from a legendary warrior who lived in the region.
Visitors can access therapeutic mud treatments and sulfurous waters at Pocitos Azufrados, located three kilometers from the town center.
The Archaeological Museum of Pubenza, housed in an old railway station, displays mastodon fossils discovered in the surrounding protected paleontological reserve.
