Puente de Boyacá, National monument bridge in Ventaquemada, Colombia.
The stone bridge spans the Teatinos River along the Pan-American Highway, situated 110 kilometers east of Bogotá and 14 kilometers west of Tunja.
The Battle of Boyacá unfolded at this location on August 7, 1819, where Simón Bolívar's forces secured a decisive victory against Spanish troops.
The Triumphal Arch near the bridge represents three Colombian ethnic groups through distinct architectural elements: Caucasian, African, and Indigenous peoples.
Visitors can reach the site by taking regular buses that operate between Bogotá and Tunja, with no entrance fees required for the monument area.
The Plaza de Banderas displays flags from 123 municipalities of Boyacá department, accompanied by an eternal flame that burns continuously.
