List of flora and fauna named after the Muisca

Add article description

The Muisca were a people living in the central highlands of Colombia; the Altiplano Cundiboyacense and neighbouring valleys. The variation of climates and ecozones within their territories made the Muisca excellent farmers. Over time, various species of flora and fauna have been discovered in Colombia. This list contains the living genera and species and fossils named after the Muisca, their religion or their settlements.

Saguamanchica was zipa of Bacatá between 1470 and 1490
Bachué was the mother goddess of the Muisca
Sumapaz Páramo, to the south of Muisca territories, is the largest páramo in the world
Landscape around Chocontá
The village of Guasca is close to Chingaza National Park
In Boyacá, northern part of the Muisca Confederation, many species have been found and named

Three other Muisca etymologies are recognised; Thomagata Patera, named after mythological cacique Thomagata, and Bochica Patera are volcanoes on Io and BD Bacatá is the highest skyscraper of Colombia.[1][2][3]
