There you can find gift shops, bakeries, bars, disco-techs, cafés, clothing stores, and much more.unja well as being important historically, is also notable for his great contribution to education in Colombia, despite being a small town considered a large part of its population are students between high school and university.The city has two professional football teams. Boyaca Chico’s playing in the Colombian Professional Football and Patriots of the Primera B. Both sets play their games at the Estadio La Independencia located north of the city. With the encounter of the two worlds a thouroughly multicultural environment has developed in Tunja’s surroundings. In spite of having been mixing culture and flocklore, it’s astonishing how Tunjans think of theirselves as never spoilt people or perhaps, forgotten people in the history.
