The brecciated fault zone is exposed along the road from Bogotá to La Calera and a vertical displacement of at least 760 metres (2,490 ft) has been determined.

In part, the fault is covered by Late Pleistocene deposits of the Sabana Formation showing a pre-Holocene activity with no known historical seismicity or registered damages.

[4] The fault follows the longitudinal axis of the Eastern Hills, striking north-northeast to south-southwest at 013.5 ± 7 and dipping 15-25 degrees to the east.

[8] The timing of the recent Andean uplift was Pleistocene, concluded on the basis of apatite fission track analysis by structural geologist Andrés Mora.

[9] The Late Cretaceous units of the hanging wall are folded producing the Bogotá Anticlinal,[10] and showing a vertical stratigraphic displacement of at least 760 metres (2,490 ft).

The brecciated area of the fault is well exposed along the road from Bogotá to La Calera, north of Calle 85 in the capital.
