Cucunubá is a municipality and town of Colombia in the Ubaté Province, part of the department of Cundinamarca. It borders with the municipalities of Ubaté, Lenguazaque, Suesca, Chocontá, Tausa and Sutatausa.[1]
The urban centre of the municipality is located in the Ubaté Valley at an altitude of 2590m (8,500feet), while other parts stretch over the mountainous sectors of the Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes. The urban centre is at a distance of 90km (60miles) from the capital Bogotá.
The name Cucunubá comes from Chibcha and means "Similarity to a face".[1] [2]
Cucunubá in the times before the Spanish conquest was part of the Muisca Confederation, a loose confederation of rulers of the Muisca.
