Tota (Tota)
Before the Spanish conquest of the central highlands of Colombia (Altiplano Cundiboyacense), the area around Tota was inhabited by the Muisca, ruled by the zaque of Hunza, currently known as Tunja. In the Chibcha language of the Muisca, Tota means "tillage of the river".
The first European to enter the territories of the northern Muisca Confederation was Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada.
