Highlights

Discover the origin of one of the world's most fascinating legends: El Dorado. Accompanied by one of our professional guides, venture along the trails that lead to the mythical Guatavita Lake, a natural sanctuary surrounded by mountains, moors, and Andean forests.


In this sacred place, the ancient Muisca civilization paid tribute to the god of water: the chieftain covered himself in gold dust and offered treasures to the lake, giving life to the myth that captivated explorers for centuries. Today, the real treasure lies in its spiritual energy, its natural beauty, and the peace it transmits at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.


Contemplate the emerald green of its waters, feel the serenity of the landscape, and connect with the history and mysticism that dwell in the heart of the Colombian Andes.


A unique experience where nature, culture, and legend intertwine to reveal the true wealth of Colombia.
