Salto del Tequendama

The name Tequendama means in Chibcha: "he who precipitated downward." According to the Muisca religion, the waterfall was created by Bochica, who used his staff to break the rock and release the water that covered the Bogotá savanna. According to another legend, during the Spanish conquest and evangelization of the Americas, in order to escape the new colonial order indigenous people of the area would jump off the Salto Del Tequendama and become eagles to fly to their freedom.
