Natural Reserve "Old Pueblito"
About This Museum
Tucked away in the highlands of Boyacá, near the town of Cuitiva, this reserve feels a world apart. It's not your typical museum; it's an open-air journey through time where ancient Muisca history and the stark beauty of the Andean paramo collide. You'll wander past reconstructed stone foundations and agricultural terraces that whisper stories of a pre-Columbian settlement. The real star, however, is the breathtaking landscape itself—rolling hills and serene lagoons that stretch out towards the horizon.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the sprawling archaeological site itself, with its labyrinth of low stone walls and circular enclosures. Keep an eye out for native flora like frailejones and unique high-altitude wildlife.
Visitor Information
Since it's an outdoor reserve, wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for changeable mountain weather. It's located down an unnamed road, so asking a local in Cuitiva for directions is your best bet.
Architecture & Building
The 'architecture' here is entirely ancient; think low-lying, dry-stone wall structures built seamlessly into the hillside by the Muisca people.
