Nocaima (Spanish pronunciation: [noˈkaima]) is a municipality and town of Colombia in the department of Cundinamarca. It is the oldest settlement in Colombia, and therefore of historical significance. Founded on June 8 in 1605, it sits in the hills of the Andes, about 60 km outside Bogota, the current Capital of Colombia.
