Tibaná, Municipality in Márquez Province, Boyacá, Colombia.

The administrative division of Tibaná sits at an elevation of 2,115 meters in the Andean region of Boyacá, surrounded by mountains and agricultural landscapes.

Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada established Tibaná on October 12, 1537, in an area previously inhabited by the Tibanaes, a Chibcha-speaking Muisca tribe.

The municipal center features a central park where residents gather for traditional festivities, religious celebrations, and community events throughout the year.

Local government services and administrative offices in Tibaná operate during standard business hours, providing essential documentation and municipal support to residents.

The name originates from the Tibanaes indigenous people, where 'Tiba' signifies chief, reflecting the area's connection to pre-Colombian leadership structures.
