Traveler reviews
Well worth the trip, beautiful lake and surrounding scenery
This was a really enjoyable day out. The countryside was beautiful, Guatavita village is pretty, Guatavita lake is absolutely stunning, and the lunch was excellent. Sarai was a really good guide, friendly and enthusiastic about what she was showing us. (Our driver, however, drove very aggressively and at times unsafely - hence only 4 stars.) My only advice for future tourists is don't expect a long 'hike'. We were in the nature reserve for about 2 hours, but 1 hour of that was basically standing still being told (interesting) stuff, and the other was at a slow pace with plenty of stops - needed because of the altitude (2920m at the start of the walk, 3070m at the end - about 400m higher than Bogotá). I live at sea level and I was still struggling with the altitude on my 3rd day in the city, so I appreciated the slow pace. I would definitely recommend the day to others
A must visit to the sacred lake of indigenous people
The lake is wonderful, the traditional food at the restaurant also amazing, the path to the lake is among the nature, the explanation about the history of indigenous people and visiting a characteristic ceremonial house of them were spectacular
Lake of Guatavita
I had a wonderful experience on the tour to Laguna de Guatavita. Andrés was an excellent guide, very friendly and attentive throughout the tour. I found the history of the lagoon fascinating, and overall it was a unique experience that really paid off. I am so glad I stayed an extra day to live it!
Excellent tour!
We had a great time with Gerald! He explained everything very well and we learned many very interesting things. It was half a day and it was excellent! The beautiful lagoon, highly recommended the tour.
Fantastic tour 5 out of 5 stars!
This tour exceeded our expectations! It was excellent! Yelitza was an amazing guide! Her knowledge and experience were so helpful for us to understand everything that we were seeing. We learned so much thanks to her!! Jorge our driver was also excellent, very cautious and polite. I would definitely book this tour again and recommend it to anyone that visits! 5 out 5 stars!
