Communities like Soacha, where there are both a lot of problems and valuable people, are ignored by Bogotá's media, which only focuses on Bogotá and big business." In Soacha, they are forced to rely on neighboring Bogotá because there no local means of communication.
The signal is carried on several of the local parabolic systems in Soacha.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bogota
Bogotá was settled by the Spaniards in 1538 and became, in 1598, the capital of Nueva Grenada, which was then a viceregal province, and in 1819, when Colombia became independent of Spain, Bogotá was made the capital of the new republic.
Bogotá is a quaint city, its lack of easy communication with other foreign cities having perpetuated its ancient Spanish character.
The city of Bogotá, capital of the republic of Colombia, is situated on a plateau 8700 feet above sea level, at the western base of the Guadalupe and Monserrat mountains, in the eastern cordillera of the Andes.

 REGRESO A EL DORADO - Por Inmaculada García Guadalupe - Fotografías cortesía del Museo del Oro
Finalmente, tras un sinfín de penalidades, los sobrevivientes del motín llegaron a Venezuela donde, poseídos por la convicción de que habían estado muy cerca de la región del oro, emplearon el resto de su vida buscando la forma de enrolarse en una nueva búsqueda de la mítica región.
La visita al Museo del Oro de Bogotá culmina con un acto ritual que nos traslada a un tiempo en el que realidad y mito van de la mano; en pequeños grupos, se accede a una cámara semicircular que se encuentra sumida en la penumbra.
En cuanto a Jiménez de Quesada, sólo se le reconocería como mariscal del Nuevo Reino de Granada —título que estaba muy por debajo de sus expectativas de convertirse en marqués— luego de diez años de acciones judiciales por medio de las cuales reclamaba sus derechos.
