Cachipay, Cundinamarca, Municipality in Tequendama Province, Colombia

Located at 1600 meters above sea level, Cachipay extends across 56 square kilometers of terrain in the Cundinamarca Department, 58 kilometers from Bogotá.

The territory, inhabited by Panche people before Spanish arrival, witnessed the Battle of Tocarema in 1538 between Spanish-Muisca forces and indigenous defenders.

The municipality contains multiple agricultural communities called veredas, including Petaluma, Cayundá, and Tablanca, where traditional Colombian farming practices continue.

The municipal government provides administrative services through nine council members and maintains communication through the official website cachipay-cundinamarca.gov.co.

Archaeological excavations in the Tocarema district revealed ceramic artifacts dating back to 750 BCE, documenting human presence in this region for over 2750 years.
