Valle de Tenza, Boyacá -
If I give the following clues about this place, how many of you would be able to find out what this place is? 1. This town used to be an important trade stop between the indigenous people from the Andes and the llanos (Colombian plains) before the colonial period. Trade used to be on emerald and salt. 2. The Spanish conquered this region from the cacique of Cora looking for esmerladas (emeralds). The cacique of Cora was a subordinate to the Zaque of Hunza. That is Tenza for you. Well, Tenza, Boyacá. How did I find out about Valle de Tenza The way I got to know about tenza is a bit curious. There are lots of yellow buses from Valle de Tenza that go from Bogotá outward seemingly towards this unknown region. When I got to research about this place, there is not a lot of available information online about this region. The more I learnt about this place, the more interested I was in visiting this region. To me it appears that this region completely disappeared of the tour
