Located 75 km from Bogota, the Laguna de Guatavita is a sacred lake and a ritual center of Muisca Indians. The quiet and beautiful lake is where the legend "El Dorado" originated. The legend says that a giant meteor fell about 2000 years ago and left a huge circular hole shaped like a volcano crater. The Indians interpreted the phenomenon as the arrival of a golden god who lived thereafter at the bottom of the lake. The lake became an object of worship, where gold, emeralds and food were offered for protection. When the Spaniards saw the Indians throwing gold into the lake, they believed a fortune was at the bottom of it, so several attempts were made to recuperate the treasure. After 400 years of digging, draining, pumping, and diving, the lagoon was finally left in peace. Some pieces of gold were found and the most famous is the "Balsa Muisca" found in 1856 and is at the gold museum in Bogota.
It costs 12 000 pesos for foreigners to get in the site and that includes a guide (English, French or Spanish) who brings you there on the top where you can see the lake and a magnificent view. The ascension may take about 45 minutes and can be a little steep at time. Know that the guide will leave you on the top of the mountain and you will have to go back to the parking lot from the other side on the road. This could take up to 1 hour. It's a beautiful walk, but make sure you have sunscreen and water with you. You can also catch a bus passing by for 1000 pesos that will drop you off at the parking lot.
