Guayabetal is a Colombian municipality in the department of Cundinamarca, located in Eastern Province,65 kilometers southeast of Bogotá.

On March 29, 1949, by Archdiocesan decree, the church of Our Lady of Carmen of Guayabetal was erected as a parish of the Archdiocese of Bogotá.

In January 2018, while construction work was being done on the viaduct at the Chirajara site southeast of Guayabetal, the structure collapsed, causing significant damage and killing 9 workers.

Moreover, due to the major tourist attraction of the central city, such as Villavicencio, the economy generally revolves around the Llano Road (restaurants, cafeterias, workshops, lodgings, etc.).

The rural population is dedicated to agriculture, mainly growing coffee and beans, which forms the economic base of the peasant farmer.
