Next monday is a holiday in Colombia, so towns do prepare festivities and amenities for tourists. A place I would like to visit is Manta in Cundinamarca next to Boyaca and near Somondoco where Bill lives.
This weekend is the festival gastronómico de "La Arepa y la Gallina", there is a contest of which village do prepare the best Sancocho or gallina.

Bill Turley (☼Travelguide writer) says on Oct 8, 2008, 06:24: I am not sure that Manta is actually in the Valle de Tenza. Manta is in Cundi while the Valle de Tenza is in Boyaca. It is certainly in the area, thats for sure. Mr. Bill Somondoco 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

webmanco says on Oct 8, 2008, 10:47: El Valle de Tenza es una región geográfica y cultural ubicada entre los departamentos colombianos de Cundinamarca y Boyacá. Se desconoce aún la época en que fue poblada pero restos arqueológicos de cerámica en la región están relacionados con la cultura Muisca temprana y datan del siglo X después de Cristo. ...A yo, déjenme queto y no me jodan má! ... 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Bill Turley (☼Travelguide writer) says on Oct 8, 2008, 11:53: OK I do know the line between Cundi and Boyaca is very close to Guateque. I also think the indian here might have been here before the muisca because of the emeralds. Mr. Bill Somondoco 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
