Techo, Protected wetland in Kennedy, Bogotá, Colombia.

The wetland extends across 11 hectares near the Bogotá River, featuring native plants and providing a sanctuary for local wildlife species.

The area bears the name of Muisca cacique Techitina, who governed this territory before the Spanish conquest of the indigenous confederation.

The wetland stands as a remnant of Lake Humboldt, representing the natural heritage of the Bogotá savanna and its ancestral inhabitants.

Visitors can access the wetland through Kennedy district, where local environmental groups conduct educational tours about ecosystem preservation.

The wetland maintains a complex water system that filters pollutants and supports numerous bird species in the urban environment of Bogotá.
