Sumapaz Province

Sumapaz Province is a province in Cundinamarca comprising ten municipalities spread across diverse landscapes, from high mountains to deep valleys. The territory spans different elevations with agricultural lands and natural ecosystems.

The region was originally inhabited by the Sutagao and Muisca peoples who established settlements before Spanish colonization arrived. These indigenous communities shaped the territory's character long before European influence.

The municipalities preserve rural traditions through weekly markets where farmers sell fresh produce and handmade goods to neighbors and visitors. These gatherings serve as community meeting points where local knowledge and recipes are shared.

Fusagasugá, the provincial capital, serves as the main transportation hub connecting to neighboring regions. Visiting the various municipalities requires local transportation or private vehicles due to hilly terrain.

The Sumapaz Páramo ecosystem extends partially across the province and serves as a major water source for many communities. This high-altitude mountain region with its distinctive plants and conditions is often overlooked by visitors focused on lower valleys.
