- Work cat: Pérez Riaño, Pablo Fernando. La cabuya de Chicamocha, 2012:p. 10 (part of the river known as the Sogamoso came to be known as the Chicamocha, probably because of the importance of a rope bridge over it known as the Cabuya de Chicamocha; downstream, between the confluence of the Chicamocha with the Saravita or Suárez river and its emptying into the Magdqalena, the river is still known as the Sogamoso)
