forms.py:

class ContactForm(forms.ModelForm):

class Meta:
    model = contactData
    fields = [
        'vision',
        'horario',
        'image_path',

You are confusing form fields with form widgets. A forms.BooleanField [Django-doc] is not a widget, it is a form field. A widget is for example the CheckboxInput [Django-doc], it specifies how to render that in a HTML form.

You can specify the field as:

class ContactForm(forms.ModelForm):
    mapActivated = forms.BooleanField(required=True)

    class Meta:
        model = contactData
        fields = [
            'vision',
            'horario',
            'image_path',
            'mapActivated',
        ]
        labels = {
            'image_path': '',    
        }

By setting this as required=True, you require that the user will check the checkbox. This might not be (per se) what you want to do. If the user has the freedom to check/uncheck it. Removing required=True should be sufficient.
