Description

Your exciting 6-hour tour begins with the option to visit the fascinating Casa Loca, a place where architecture defies all rules. Upon entering, you will be greeted by an environment where the walls are tilted and the floors appear challenging, creating an optical illusion that challenges your perception. Each room is designed to surprise and amaze, offering a unique visual and sensory experience that will make you question what you thought possible in architectural design. After Casa Loca, you will head to the charming village of Guatavita. Here, you can enjoy a stroll through its cobblestone streets and admire the well-preserved colonial architecture. The tranquil atmosphere of the town, along with its brightly colored houses and picturesque squares, will transport you back in time.

Finally, your adventure culminates at the majestic Guatavita Lagoon, a site steeped in history and legend. You will walk along the trails that surround the lagoon, surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery. The lagoon, located in the crater of an extinct volcano, is the scene of the famous legend of El Dorado, where the Muiscas performed rituals with gold and offerings to their gods. During your visit, you will learn about these ancestral rituals and the role that the lagoon played in the indigenous culture. This last part of the tour will allow you to connect with the history, nature and mythology of the region, offering you a complete and enriching experience.
