Tequendama Falls Museum

[3] In 1923,[4] the building was constructed as a mansion by the architect Carlos Arturo Tapias, as a symbol of the joy and elegance of the elite citizens of the 20s.

The Institute of Natural Sciences of the National University of Colombia and the Ecological Farm Foundation of Porvenir were jointly in charge of the renovations to convert the hotel into a museum.

In the late 2000s, the hotel received the status of an object of cultural heritage, which made it possible to allocate funds for its reconstruction.

In parallel, the Institute of Natural Sciences National University of Colombia held work on cleaning the River Bogota and her tributaries.
