6 h
Over deze activiteit
Visit the site that gave birth to the famous legend of El Dorado, and step inside a journey full of fantasy, history, mysticism and landscapes colored with a dozen shades of green. On this tour, we will travel to the north of Bogota, the village of Guatavita, which was named after the treasure hidden behind its mountains; The Guatavita Lagoon. After walking the cobblestone streets of the white-house village, which holds a unique history, we will drive between potato crop fields and farmers' houses up to the highest point in which the sacred lake lies hidden amongst mountains and mist. Inside this natural reservoir dotted by lush and humid forest vegetation you can feel the mystic energy that made this lagoon a sacred place for the Muiscas. Learn about the connection with nature of this ancient people and the way gold was used as a symbol of gratitude. At the same time, get to know how this particular ritual awoke the passions of Spanish treasure hunters and other unfortunate adventurers. On the way back, we will have a spectacular view over the Tomin Damps valley, and Cerro de las Tres Viejas. Finally, we will make a stop at La Calera, a small town, where by the side of the road we will taste the splendid arepas of yellow corn and cheese from vendors that lure every single car to stop and purchase.
