This legend had a huge impact in the spanish colonization and today, the Guatavita Lake, where this legend took place, is one of the most visited attractions in the area around Bogota. Get to know this wonderful place with a native guide from this region.

"Our guide, Marcello, gave us a fantastic tour, his knowledge about the city of Bogota is admirable. Thanks to him we had a wonderful and memorable day!"

Jess M. - TripAdvisor

"By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide."
