Lache people
Muisca, Guane |
The Lache were an indigenous,
Chitarero.[4] Trade included salt and textiles, as well as food stuffs.[4][5] The Lache farmed maize, potatoes, quinoa and cotton, among other crops.[6]
In the 17th century, Lucas Fernández de Piedrahita wrote of the habit of the Laches in bringing up younger male children as culturally female.[7][8]
The name Lache is preserved in a barrio of Bogotá known as Los Laches.
Municipalities belonging to Lache territory
