The article discusses Covarachía, a municipality in the department of Boyacá, Colombia, highlighting its historical background, geographical features, economic activities, and cultural traditions. Located 192 kilometers from Tunja, Covarachía derives its name from the Muisca language, meaning 'cave of the moon.'

Agriculture is the main economic activity, with crops such as beans, tomatoes, corn, cassava, sugarcane, bananas, oranges, pineapples, cherimoyas, and peaches being cultivated.
