Lake Iguaque, Sacred mountain lake in Villa de Leyva, Colombia.

Lake Iguaque lies northeast of Villa de Leyva in Boyacá, within the Iguaque Flora and Fauna Sanctuary. Its páramo surroundings hold frailejón plants, ferns, lichens and puyas, with an average temperature of 12 °C. The Furachiogua visitor center offers accommodation for up to 48 people and a camping zone.

The lake and its surroundings were declared a Flora and Fauna Sanctuary in 1977. The protected area lies northeast of Villa de Leyva, in the Chíquiza municipality of Boyacá. The sanctuary safeguards páramo habitat with frailejón plants, ferns, lichens and puyas.

For the Muisca, the lake is where the goddess Bachué emerged with a boy; after he grew, she married him and their children populated the Earth. Both later vanished into the water as snakes. The 2006-described sweat bee Neocorynura muiscae, found near the lake, is named after the Muisca.

Access starts from the Furachiogua visitor center, which has lodging for up to 48 people and a camping area. The route from Bogotá runs via Tunja (147 km) and then to Villa de Leyva (39 km). The average temperature is 12 °C, so bring warm layers for the páramo.

The sweat bee Neocorynura muiscae was described in 2006 from specimens found in the sanctuary near the lake and named after the Muisca. It is a small bee that visitors would not notice without a specialist's eye.
