Guatavita Lake—El Dorado Legend & Colonial Town

We’ll meet at 8:00 a.m. at your hotel. Listen as your guide allows you insights into the city (premium option), and the local culture while enjoying the urban landscape, and the scenery of the Andean Savannah outside Bogota.

Upon reaching Guativa Natural Park (basic option), your driver will provide you with the tickets, and some instructions so you can meet later. He/she will be waiting for about 2 hours.

Enjoy some typical snacks before heading to Guatavita Park. (Premium Option)

Start your hike at the Chuzua—Indigenous ceremonial house. Hike through the Andean woods up to the lake at the top of the mountain. Hear in-depth commentary on the biodiversity and the Indigenous culture as your guide lets you in on its enthralling history. Upon reaching the top, take in the views and scenery of the lake from there (10,170 ft high), while enjoying its magical colors—a result of sedimentation on ancient rocks, that seem to be alive.

Stroll through cobbled streets and gaze at the captivating colonial architecture of the town, whose construction is a memorial of the El Dorado legend.

By the way, the old town is underwater. Ask your guide about it while enjoying the typical gastronomy before heading back to Bogota.

On the way back to Bogota, listen as your guide shares fun facts about Colombian history while enjoying the sunset and the Andean Savannah. (Premium option)

Finally, we will leave you in the comfort of your hotel in the afternoon hours—or the El Dorado international airport.
