Aguazuque

Located on the Bogotá savanna at 2,600 meters above sea level, the Aguazuque site contains evidence of ancient settlements near the Bogotá River.

The excavation area reveals human occupation from 3000 to 700 BCE, spanning both the preceramic period and subsequent Herrera Period ceramic developments.

Fifty-nine burial sites at this location demonstrate specific funeral practices, including single, double, and mass graves with personal items and food offerings.

Researchers and visitors can examine the extensive collection of stone and bone tools, including scrapers, knives, and mortars made from local materials.

Archaeological findings indicate a transition from hunter-gatherer societies to early farming communities through remnants of cultivated species like Cucurbita pepo.
