Tibitó, Archaeological site in Tocancipá, Colombia
The Tibitó rock shelter sits at 2,570 meters elevation in the northern section of the Bogotá savanna within the Eastern Colombian Andes.
Archaeological excavations in 1967 revealed stone tools, animal bones, and charcoal dating back 11,740 years, marking human presence during the Late Pleistocene period.
Early inhabitants created knives and scrapers from stone materials, demonstrating advanced tool-making capabilities for hunting and processing large mammals in this region.
The eastern section contains 20 constructed routes for visitors, while the western portion remains under private ownership with restricted access.
The location contains remains of extinct animals including Haplomastodon and Cuvieronius alongside ancient human artifacts in the same archaeological layers.
