Cuchavira

Cuchavira, who was called "shining air" is the Muisca god of the rainbow, who was born when Bochica created the Tequendama Falls. Rain and sun were both very important for the Muisca's agriculture.
When the rain god Chibchacum was angry, he sent heavy rains to the flatlands, causing the rivers to flood, destroying the agriculture and the houses of the Muisca. When the rains were over and the Sun was shining again, causing Cuchavira to appear, the people offered gold, marine snails and small emeralds to thank him.
