About Private Tour to Lake Guatavita

The lake where the El Dorado legend was born, an hour and a half from Bogotá. We pick you up around 8:00 and by 9:45 you are at the reserve ticket office, where you pay your entry in cash: up there is no signal and no card reader. The entry includes a reserve guide, which is mandatory and worth it: over about two hours of gentle climbing up stone steps they tell you the Muisca cosmogony and the true origin of the myth, until you reach the crater rim and see the emerald-green lake from above. You are at 3,000 metres: walk slowly and bring a raincoat, because the weather changes in minutes. On the way down we take you to the village of Guatavita La Nueva, all white houses and clay roofs, for lunch and a stroll around the square. Around 14:15 we head back and by 15:30 you are at your hotel. Note: the reserve closes on Mondays, and if Monday is a holiday it closes on Tuesday instead.
