La Vaca, Protected wetland in Kennedy, Colombia.
La Vaca wetland spans 8 hectares at 2,548 meters above sea level within the Tunjuelo River basin of the Bogota savanna.
The wetland received its alternative name Techovita from a leader of the Muisca Confederation who governed this territory before Spanish colonization.
Local residents participate in environmental education programs and community initiatives to maintain and protect this natural space in Kennedy.
The wetland area underwent extensive cleaning operations in 2017, removing 32,387 tons of waste and implementing native plant species around the water mirror.
The restoration project transformed a former waste dump into a thriving ecosystem, reducing criminal activity and bringing back local wildlife.
