Sutatausa (pronounced as /es/) is a municipality and town of Colombia in the Ubaté Province, part of the department of Cundinamarca. The municipality is located on the Altiplano Cundiboyacense at a distance of 88km (55miles) from the capital Bogotá and borders Ubaté in the north, Tausa in the south, Cucunubá in the east and Carmen de Carupa and Tausa in the west.[1]
The name Sutatausa comes from Chibcha and means "small tribute".[1]
The area of Sutatause before the Spanish conquest was inhabited by the Muisca, organised in their loose Muisca Confederation. Sutatausa was ruled by the zipa based in Muyquytá.
Modern Sutatausa was founded on June 24 (Saint John's day), 1537 by Hernán Pérez de Quesada, brother of conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, who on the same day founded Tenza.[1]
Main economical activities of Sutatausa are agriculture, dairy farming and small-scale mining. Tourism is also an important factor of income.[1]
