Viracachá

Viracachá is a town and municipality in the Márquez Province, Colombia, part of the Colombian department of Boyacá.

Viracachá is situated on the Altiplano Cundiboyacense at 22 kilometres (14 mi) from the department capital Tunja and the small urban center at 2,520 metres (8,270 ft) above sea level.

One interpretation says the name is derived from Quechua and means "air of the lake".

Due to its proximity to the northern capital Hunza, Viracachá was ruled by the zaque.
