About

The Puente de Boyacá (in English: Bridge of Boyacá) is a bridge located 110 km east of Bogotá and 14 km west from Tunja in a valley, crossing the Teatinos River near the Pan-American Highway. It was the site of the historic battle of August 7, 1819, known as the Battle of Boyacá, which granted independence to New Granada.
