FlyingWorks - Precise information from the air Tequendama Falls, a breathtaking natural wonder, plunges majestically into the Soacha municipality in Colombia's Cundinamarca department. Nestled approximately 30 km southwest of Bogotá, Colombia's vibrant capital city, Santafé de Bogotá, Tequendama Falls captivates all who lay eyes on its awe-inspiring spectacle. In native American Muisca mythology, the waterfall was born from divine intervention to alleviate floods that once engulfed the Bogotá savanna. Following a serene journey of over 100 km through the cundiboyacense plateau and savanna, the mighty Bogota River makes an unforgettable leap of approximately 157 meters into a rocky abyss. This thunderous plunge occurs within a lush forest zone perpetually veiled in mist. Tragically, before its natural beauty unfolds, Tequendama Falls suffers the consequence of human actions. Two hydroelectric plants – El Charquito and Muña Dam – situated along the river channel upstream, dramatically reduce the falls' water flow due to excessive energy consumption. Moreover, uncontrolled growth of Colombia's bustling capital has led to persistent pollution of both the Bogota River and its tributaries. In response to this grim reality, local authorities are racing against time to launch monumental cleanup initiatives, designed to restore pristine health to the beleaguered watercourse. These courageous efforts are aimed at salvaging what remains of Tequendama Falls' natural wonder from environmental catastrophe.
