Follow in the footsteps of the legend of El Dorado with this day trip to the village of Guatavita, a beautiful municipality with a captivating history.
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Bogotá and start this day trip. Along the way, we'll make a stop in the Laguna de Guatavita, the perfect spot to begin enjoying the unique landscapes of this region.
After spending an hour at the lagoon, we'll set off to visit the famous Casa al Revés, an icon in Guatavita. This curious house is located on the Vereda Santa María and its name says it all: it's built upside down!
After a 30-minute wait, we'll enter the house and check out all its rooms, which are inverted in the same way as the building. You'll be able to take loads of fun photos!
Following the visit to this whimsical house, we'll visit the town of Guatavita, where we'll learn about the sacred rites of the Muisca, an Indigenous People known for using various gold objects in their ceremonies. This fact gave rise to the famous legend of El Dorado, whose fame attracted numerous conquistadors in search of these precious treasures.
The legend of El Dorado has inspired movies, books, TV series, and even video games, but... What's actually true? Is it true that pre-Columbian civilizations possessed a large number of gold pieces? What exactly did the Spanish conquistadors expect to find? We'll answer all these questions during the tour!
We'll then take a break for you to grab some lunch and afterward, we'll return to the Colombian capital. Here, you'll be dropped off at our initial starting point after 10 hours.
Please note that this activity only includes pickup from hotels in the Northern area of Bogotá.
Please note that if you do the tour on Mondays, the Guatavita Lagoon is closed. On this day, we'll replace this stop with a visit to a viewpoint in La Calera, a spectacular area surrounded by the Andes Mountains.
