Anapoima (Spanish pronunciation: [anaˈpojma]) is a Colombian municipality in the department of Cundinamarca located 87 km (54 mi) from Bogotá.

## History

The first inhabitants of the region were the Anapoymas Indians of the Panche nation. Between Tocaima and Tena there existed only small indigenous houses. The town was founded on August 10, 1627, by the Spanish counsellor Don Lesmes de Espinosa Saravia. With the passing of time, following Spanish colonisation, it became the resting place for travellers whose destination was the south of Colombia.

## Hymn

[edit]

> Fuiste cuna de Poimas y Anapoimas
>  Acoges a la inmensa humanidad
>  Te conviertes en toda una heredad
>  De quien viene a tus puertas a llamar

>  De la tribu Panche eres su hija
>  De los bravos Tolimas eres nieta
>  De la raza caribe heredera
>  Y de honrosa estirpe ancestral

>  Manantial de vida amor y paz
>  Salud de quien quiera en ti vivir
>  Amanecer de luz y de solaz
>  Aseguras eterno porvenir

>  Cuanto quieres a tus hijos
>  Y a quien te viene a buscar
>  Que amorosa le ofreces cobijo
>  Y hasta el alma le llegas a sanar (bis)

>  ANAPOIMA, ANAPOIMA
>  Sol de la eterna juventud
