 The "Hoyo de La Romera" on the side of Santa Sofía remains the only alleged historical vestige to the area's indigenous past, though the claim is yet to be supported by archeological evidence.Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada travelled south through the area in 1537  in the search for El Dorado.Having followed the course of the Magdalena River, his expedition then travelled down the Saravita, which formed the main trajectory of the subsequent conquests.
