Cómbita, Administrative municipality in Boyacá, Colombia.

Located within the Central Boyacá Province, Cómbita extends across 149 square kilometers at an elevation of 2,825 meters above sea level.

Established in 1586, Cómbita was originally under the authority of the Muisca people, governed by the zaque of Hunza from present-day Tunja.

The name Cómbita derives from the Chibcha language of the Muisca people, translating to either 'Hand of the jaguar and wheel of life'.

The municipality produces agricultural goods including potatoes, barley, wheat, maize, and peas, while maintaining substantial livestock farming operations.

Professional cyclists Nairo and Dayer Quintana were born in Cómbita, with Nairo achieving victories in both the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España.
