Bojayá is a municipality in the Chocó Department. Administrative center is in Bellavista. It was established by decree no. 13 of 12 December 1960. Bojayá became known worldwide after the "Bojayá massacre" of 2 May 2002 in which fighting between two rival groups resulted the death of 119 civilians that were hiding in local church (for further reading see wikipedia).
