  HISTORY

 

 GUATAVITA

 

To prove that a legend transcended the sphere of the fantastic, all that needs to be done is to leave Bogotá, by the Autopista Norte or the road to La Calera, and visit the sacred Guatavita Lake, the site of the legend of El Dorado, the legend that attracted the Spanish conquistadors to this land in the sixteenth century.

The narrators of these events and the setting where they took place are located just 75 km, or an hour away, from the Colombian capital. Besides the famous legend, there are several other reasons for considering this tour of the savanna of Bogotá: splendid scenery right at the edge of the road, picturesque towns, and ecological reserves that release oxygen into the environment.

The sacred lake of Guatavita was the ceremonial site where the Indians worshipped Chie, the goddess of water

Before pointing out the details of the story that took place on the waters of the lake, it is worth explaining that the present municipality of Guatavita, is a 42-year-old architectural complex created to replace the old town, which was submerged by the Tominé Reservoir, a masterly work of infrastructure that generates electric power for nearby localities and a substantial amount of Bogota’s water. It is also a stage for sports like sailing and water skiing.

Note that the name Guatavita has been used for three different settings. From now on, we will take care to point out to which one we are referring to. Guatavita, the old town, now covered by the reservoir, used to lie on the slopes of the hill by the name of Montecillo. It was the religious capital of the ancient Muisca people and a site for the production of fine metalwork.

Guatavita, the sacred lake, belongs geographically and legally to the municipality of Sesquilé. It used to be the ceremonial site where the Indians worshipped Chie, the goddess of water, during lavish ceremonies that gave rise to the legend of El Dorado. According to the legend, the Muisca Indian chief would arrive, covered with dust, on a wooden raft, with four of his priests and the treasures collected in his community. After throwing the treasures into the lake as a symbol of adoration, he would immerse himself in the water. For the natives, the value of gold was not economic, but a means to come closer to their gods.

Guatavita Lake

The story came to the ears of the Spaniards, who organized expeditions to take the precious jewels our ancestors had ingeniously created over the course of many years. In fact, it is said that during one of the first lootings ordered by Phillip II, over fourteen loads of gold were taken.

The Spaniards attempted to drain the lake several times. The high cost of these expeditions made them give up, but not after obtaining the best part of the booty. The gold they took was a lot and very heavy; very little has been recovered.
The legend of El Dorado tells that the Muisca chief would arrive at the lake on a wooden raft with four of his priests. After being covered in gold, he would immerse himself in the water with treasures offered in adoration

Guatavita, the new town built in the sixties, is an architectural heritage site classified in the categories of family and civil buildings. Family buildings are represented by symmetrically designed houses with white walls and ceramic tile roofs; the second category, by the Office of the Mayor, the House of Culture, 17 small squares, Lovers’ Bridge, the central square, the handicrafts center, and La Cacica fountain – all of the above connected by flagstone and cobblestone streets.

Practically everything built and sculpted in the new Guatavita has to do with the quasi-true legend of El Dorado. During a leisurely stroll, it is easy to find data that brings visitors closer to the facts, whether because they are inscribed in buildings or written in documents, or because there are well-informed guides and locals who are happy to transmit information on the events.

A trip to Guatativa implies visiting each of the three locations. It is a charming experience that involves engaging in nautical sports on the reservoir, bird watching and ecological hikes on paths near the lake, and a stroll through the new Guatavita, where history is guarded side by side with the work of contemporary artisans who are true masters of clay and virgin wool.

The Legend of El Dorado

The legend is a historical fact of great magnitude that represents much of what we Colombians are and have, to the point that on the other side of the world, someone who knows nothing about Colombia may forget what or where it is, while being able to describe and remember the legend in detail and how the Indians developed techniques like lost wax to give shape to the gold they mined and later sank into the lake.

At present, some of the treasures of El Dorado are part of collections that the Bank of Republic has recovered in the course of more than sixty years and exhibits in the halls of the Gold Museum in Bogotá; among them, the renowned Muisca Raft that stages the pinnacle of Indian rites on the waters of Guatavita.

The old village of Guatavita

Thus, we have that the ingenuity of Muisca ancestors to work gold and turn it into sacred figures is true, just as the looting of many treasures by the conquistadors. And the recovery of priceless pieces is evident. There is Guatavita, the present town - white, colonial, and a tourist attraction. The old village of Guatavita is submerged in the waters of the Tominé Reservoir. It came to a halt, but it is still there, while the round, greenish lake is enclosed by mountains and protected by the environmental authorities for the enjoyment of hikers.

Perhaps the legend will remain due to the impossibility to prove whether any Muisca treasures remain at the muddy bottom of the lake. What a lot of Indian wisdom! What an ambition for conquering! But let’s leave the lake still; and let’s leave the legend still.

ZIPAQUIRA SALT CATHEDRAL HISTORY

THE FIRST MARVEL OF COLOMBIA

This mountain was  discovered by our indians, MUISCAS,  They took the salt  that flow from some salty fountains,  which mixed  with water, form small rivers, then they  boiled the water, and when  it   dried in the pot  remained small quantities of white sal.

At the beggining, the indians, the indians called “chigua” to the dark blocks of salt that flow from the  mountain; later on it was called “sal vigua” that means sal virgen. Those blocks of salt were put on pots made of clay, “Juiches”, which were broken  with a stick, when the salt was.

They used the sal as money, for buying their food and for their  bussiness.

In the year 1801, Alexander Von Humbolt, a very important  scientist from Germany  in Colombia, and  visited the  mine, he was very  concerned about mining, and he said that the explotation should be underground., by  bulding tunnels to find the purest salt.   The German  engineer Jacobo Wiesner began in 1816 a tunnel in the second level of explotation,  which was called Potosi.

In 1834, Diego Davinson and Alejandro  McDouall,  began the first level of explotation in the cota 2730 mts.  This was called  Guasca that means “cave”.  In this place they built the first salt cathedral, using the big caves in the upper level.

The miners who buit the old salt cathedral, in 1950, for  giving thanks to the Virgin for her protection.   The name of the  Virgin in Guasca.  It´s an  indian name that means “cave” . The Virgin of the cave”.

The old Cathedral was built between the year 1951 and 1954.   The  original idea was to build a little   chapel of the miners  for giving thanks to  the  Virgin  for her protection, but in the level of production.  It was a chapel not a church.  It was inaugurated  in 1954, and it was opened  till 1992.  The goverment closed the old cathedral  because it had many  problems in its structures; and decided to bult a new cathedral  in the south of the mountain. The old  was in the north. It was very small  and rustic; the new is in the south and it¨s bigger than the old  and is very symbolic. The new cathedral was  built from the year 1992 to 1995.

The new  cathedral was directed by the engineer Jorge Castelblanco and it was designed by Roswell Garavito Pearl, who included in the  design many religious symbols. After three years of hard work and creation and 127 colombian people  working inside, the salt Cathedral was inagurated by Ernesto Samper Pizano, President of Colombia   on December 16 1995.

The new cathedral  is divided in three levels.  In the first, we find the Stations of the cross and the old chapels of salt.
In the second  level,  we have  the Cupola, the Nartex and the Choir.
In the third level, we have the three big NAVES of the Cathedral.

THE NEW  SALT CATHEDRAL

From the ceremonial square, the descend to the  depth,  toward the interior of the salt Cathedral,  starts through the sacred axis “The  oak¨s tunnel”;  this route prepares in the pilgrim in the accecis  transition  from the external world, like beggining, to the conceptual interior word, like a destination.  The  entrance  is a big crack representing  a trip from the material to unmaterial, from  terrestrial  things to    spiritual things.  You go into a  mountain under the steeple and the Great  Cross that emerges of it, and whose proyection in the square is the Cardinal Cross, symbol of union  of  the  towns.

The  descent towards the Cathedral is slow,  during this lapsed, it is diluted  the notion of time, light, heat, sound, color, wind, and movement.  It is a route till a new interior vision,  a permanent underground world of centuries, mysterous, that invites  you to the maditation, the reflection, and the  contemplation
It¨s an  authentic and unique  experience.

 

HISTORIA

  GUATAVITA

Era la capital religiosa de los Chibchas del Zipazgo, en cuya laguna sagrada, templo máximo de su veneración a Chie, el agua, celebraban la más pomposa de sus ceremonias que dio origen a la leyenda del Dorado. Guatavita en lengua chibcha quiere decir fin de la labranza o punto de la sierra, según Acosta Ortegón.

 

El primitivo pueblo de Guatavita tenía asiento al pie del cerro de Montesillo, a cuyo alrededor estaban las capitanías de Chaleche, Tuneche y Tuminé; la principal industria era la orfebrería, sobresalieron como los mejores y los hábiles pues "Sabían fundir el oro y amoldarlo" El fundador del nuevo pueblo fue el oidor Miguel de Ibarra, el día 18 de marzo de 1593 cuando por auto les hizo adjudicación de las tierras.

 

El 27 de septiembre de 1639 en la visita del oidor Gabriel de Carvajal, siendo cura fray Francisco Chacón de la orden de Santo Domingo, fue a ver las tierras para saber lo adjudicado a los indios, en cuya posesión los amparó. El 3 de febrero de 1758 inició visita el oidor Aróstegui y Escoto. La población era de 1.264 de los cuales 221 eran tributarios. El Censo de vecinos dio 480 personas en 160 familias. El 1º de marzo de 1771 en visita del Corregidor José María Campuzano y Lanz se empadronaron 1.577 indios, de ellos 333 tributarios.

 

Era cura Juan Tomás de Fresneda y había 214 cabezas de familia de blancos y 1.064 personas. Conforme a Cédula Real de 1567 se nombró prior para Guatavita a Fray Sebastián de Morales, tambien se fundó el convento de Guatavita, que se llamó San Pedro Mártir. El priorato duró hasta 1584 en que quedó como vicaría. Por cédula real de 27 de diciembre de 1767 la parroquia fue entregada en 1768 al clero secular en cambio por la de Chiquinquirá. No se sabe cuando se erigió en parroquia de blancos.

 

Desde un principio aparece como capital de Cantón y de provincia hasta 1930, cuando se suprimió esta jerarquía político-administrativa, categoría que conservó hasta que desapareció bajo las aguas el 15 de septiembre de 1967. La construcción del nuevo pueblo comenzó el 14 de noviembre de 1964 por la firma Llorente & Ponce de León Ltda., en agosto de 1967 comenzó la mudanza. La Ciudad consta de 2 partes la familiar que es un conjunto de casas simétricas donde vive la población nativa y la pública o cívica donde están los edificios del Gobierno, plazas, almacenes, restaurantes, iglesia. etc., algunas reliquias se guardan en el "Museo Parroquial".

 

El lago que se hizo en el valle del Tominé o Guatavita se llama "Embalse de Guatavita y presa de Sesquilé", abarca los municipios de Guasca y Sesquilé, tiene una longitud de 18 kmts. por 4 de ancho y 38 metros de profundidad, con capacidad para 630 millones de metros cúbicos de agua. El objetivo es regular el volumen de aguas del río Bogotá con relación a las necesidades de la hidroeléctrica del Salto del Tequendama, detener inundaciones de la Sabana y suministrar agua en la planta de Tibitó para el acueducto de Bogotá.

 

Hechos Notables

 

El Cantón de Guatavita se creó por decreto del Congreso de Nueva Granada el 11 de junio de 1839. En su jurisdicción existe todavía el caserío indígena de Guandita que fuera erigido en inspección departamental y posteriormente suprimida. El primer nacimiento en la Nueva Guatavita fue el de Pedro Alberto Muñoz Delgadillo el 15 de septiembre de 1967; y la primera defunción fue la de Ismenia Sastoque el 21 del mismo mes con quien se inauguró el cementerio.

 

Se ha dicho que la banda de Guatavita fue fundada en 1874 por Alejandro Hoyos Rozo, fue la banda más famosa y nombrada de Colombia por el dicho "de una sola pieza como la Banda de Guatavita" que algunos pueden interpretar como simplicidad y pobreza de su repertorio, y que un artículo de Miguel Aguilera dice asi: "más o menos en 1882 llegó a la banda la partitura de una polka compuesta por don José María Ponce de León, titulada "La Mirla Blanca", y la banda la interpreto con acierto".

 

Hacia 1964, la banda hizo una presentación en la televisora Nacional, en la que figuraron los más viejos ejecutantes; en 1967 ya se había disuelto y en 1971 comenzó a reconstituirse con personal nuevo y parte de los mismos instrumentos.

 

La laguna de Guatavita fue objeto de múltiples trabajos para desecarla y extraer de ella los tesoros que reposan en el fondo, entre los más importantes figuran el capitán Lázaro Fonte y luego Hernán Pérez de Quesada, quien logró sacar de 3 a 4 mil pesos de oro fino; Antonio de Sepúlveda, en 1562 quien logró sacar un valor de doce mil pesos en esmeraldas y piezas de oro, a comienzos del siglo actual se estableció el Inglés W. Cooper quien extrajo varias piezas de oro y cerámica.

CATEDRAL DE SAL ZIPAQUIRA

La Catedral de Sal es un templo construido en el interior de las minas de sal de Zipaquirá, en la Sabana de Bogotá, en el departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia. Es también un centro religioso y uno de los santuarios católicos más célebres del país que hace memoria del Viacrucis de Jesucristo.

El diseño arquitectonico y artistico de la nueva Catedral de Sal, es propio del Arquitecto Bogotano Roswell Garavito Pearl, el cual salio aprobado tras la elección del proyecto que contenia un total de 44 propuestas en un concurso convocado por la Sociedad Colombiana de Arquitectos en 1990; mientras que la direccion tecnica de ingenieria fue ejecutada por el Ingeniero Bogotano Jorge Enrique Castelblanco Reyes.

En su interior se encuentra una rica colección artística, especialmente de esculturas de sal y mármol en un ambiente lleno de un profundo sentido religioso que atrae a peregrinos y turistas.[2]

La catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá es considerada como uno de los logros arquitectónicos y artísticos más notables de la arquitectura colombiana,[3] otorgándosele incluso el titulo de joya arquitectónica de la modernidad.[4] La importancia de la Catedral, radica en su valor como patrimonio cultural, religioso y ambiental.[5]

En 2007 mediante un concurso para elegir las 7 Maravillas de Colombia; la Catedral de Sal obtuvo la mayor votación; convirtiéndola en la Maravilla No.1 de Colombia, aunque también fue propuesta entre las Siete Maravillas del Mundo Moderno.

La iglesia subterránea hace parte del complejo cultural "Parque de la Sal",[6] espacio cultural temático dedicado a la minería, la geología y los recursos naturales.

You’ll have little trouble finding FM rigs to use; even a hand-held transceiver can make a fine Field Day rig. FM doesn’t have the range of CW or SSB, but it is the most popular communications mode on the VHF and UHF bands. You’ll find the greatest amount of FM simplex activity on the 2-meter band, although 6 meter FM may be worth a try as well. Remember that Field Day rules prohibit the use of repeaters. This means you’ll have to hunt for contacts on the recognized simplex frequencies.
