Embalse de La Copa

Embalse de La Copa, Artificial reservoir in Toca and Tuta municipalities, Colombia.

Embalse de La Copa is an artificial body of water in the Centro Abajo district, shared by the municipalities of Toca and Tuta in central Boyacá, on the Cordillera de los Andes. It covers about 880 hectares and reaches depths of up to 33.5 metres. Its main access lies at kilometre 21 on an unpaved road between Chivatá and Toca, near the Yerbabuena farm.

The project was planned in the late 1960s to meet the growing energy demand of the Boyacá region and built over several decades. After its completion, the reservoir gradually became a destination for outdoor activities as well.

La Copa is a gathering place for the culture and tradition of the municipality of Toca, and its sunrises and sunsets are known throughout the region. At night, astronomy enthusiasts meet there to observe the constellations, since the dark sky over the water favours stargazing.

Access is by unpaved roads through the San Francisco district, and it is worth checking road conditions locally before heading out, as they can change with rain and season. The altitude brings cool temperatures, so carrying warm clothing is a good idea regardless of the time of year.

The reservoir's nights draw astronomy enthusiasts from the region, who gather there to observe the constellations; its sunrises and sunsets are likewise known across the area. The main access lies at kilometre 21 on an unpaved road between Chivatá and Toca, near the Yerbabuena farm.
