Provincia de Cundinamarca, Administrative department in central Colombia.

Cundinamarca extends over 24,210 square kilometers across diverse landscapes from the Eastern Cordillera mountains to the Magdalena River valley.

The region transformed from indigenous Muisca territory to Spanish colonial administration in 1550, becoming an official department of Colombia in 1886.

The name Cundinamarca derives from Kuntur marqa in the indigenous Muisca language, reflecting the ancestral connection to condors in the region.

The department contains 116 municipalities and surrounds Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, creating a strategic hub for commerce and transportation.

The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá stands 180 meters underground in an ancient salt mine, featuring detailed religious carvings in mineral walls.
