Guatavita Excursion + Casa al Revés

Follow in the footsteps of the legend of El Dorado with this day trip to Guatavita, a beautiful municipality home to a lagoon with a captivating history.

Excursion Details

After departing from Bogotá, we'll stop in the town of La Calera in Cundinamarca.

The first visit is to the Casa al Revés, an icon of Guatavita located on Vereda Santa María. The house is built upside down. After a 30-minute wait, we will enter and explore its inverted rooms, ideal for photography.

Next, we'll visit Guatavita to learn about the sacred rites of the Muisca, an Indigenous People known for their gold objects used in ceremonies, leading to the legend of El Dorado. This legend has attracted conquistadors seeking treasures. We will address the truths behind the legend and what the Spanish conquistadors expected to find.

We will take a break for lunch before returning to Bogotá, with drop-off at the starting point after 8 to 8.5 hours.
