	Chibcha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chibchas of Colombia, the Quechuas of Peru and the Aymaras of Bolivia were the 3 most important sedentary Indian groups in South America.

		At present the Chibchas have ceased to form autonomous tribes but are not extinct.Some of their descendants currently live near the Magdalena River, close to Bogotá, the capital of Colombia.
