El humedal del burro, Protected wetland in Kennedy district, Bogotá, Colombia.
The wetland extends across 18.84 hectares divided into two sections by Avenida Ciudad de Cali, featuring water mirrors and native vegetation at 2,541 meters elevation.
Originally part of the expansive Tintal Lagoon that measured 171.54 hectares in 1956, the area decreased to its current size due to urban development.
