Almeidas Province, Administrative province in Cundinamarca Department, Colombia.
The Almeidas Province extends across diverse geographical terrain with Chocontá serving as its capital city along the Pan-American Highway.
Spanish conquistadors reached Chocontá in 1537, where Father Fray Domingo de las Casas named it Pueblo del Espíritu Santo during the Pentecost celebration.
The name Chocontá stems from the Chibcha language of the Muisca people, translating to 'Farmlands of the good ally' in their native tongue.
The Pan-American Highway provides direct access to Chocontá, connecting travelers to major destinations throughout the Cundinamarca Department and beyond.
The Sisga Reservoir within Chocontá's jurisdiction contributes to regional water management while the area leads Colombia's strawberry production.
