We go to the sacred lake of Guatavita, which was and remains part of the sacred legend of El Dorado, the city of gold, which is decorated with the treasures of the indigenous Indians (Muiscas), where gold had no meaning. This place has been searched for for many years, but no evidence of its existence has yet been found. There is also an alternative legend about El Dorado, according to which this city is located in the Andes, next to a lake. Thanks to this legend, the first conquistadors went in search of this lake, and for some reason, which the guide will tell you, this lake is Guatavita. Visit this mystical place and enjoy its beauty, history, wonderful views, landscapes and perhaps you will discover grains of gold while walking along the Indian trails.
