from

The Chibcha linguistic communities were the most numerous, the most territorially extended and the most socio-economically developed of the Pre-Hispanic Colombian cultures.
At one point, the Chibchas occupied part of what is now Panama and the high plains of the Eastern Sierra of Colombia.
The areas that they occupied were the Departments of Santander, Norte de Santander, Boyacá and Cundinamarca, which were also the areas where the first farms were developed.
Centuries later it was in the area of these departments where the independence movement originated and the first industries were developed.
Next to the Quechua of Peru and Ecuador and the Aymara in Bolivia, the Chibchas of the eastern and north-eastern Highlands of Colombia were the most striking of the sedentary indigenous peoples in South America.
