Guatavita is one of the most famous villages in the surroundings of Bogot\u00e1, yet not much visited by foreign tourists. The characteristic white village is located on a lake where you can enjoy views and go hiking. The village of Guatavita is perfect for strolling, eating good food and buying souvenirs.<\/strong> I lived around the corner for about 4 years, so I’ve been there often. And every time it was fun again. Even now, from Bogot\u00e1, I still enjoy going there. Along Lake Tomin\u00e9 there are also many places to camp. Read all about Guatavita here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

From Guatavita, you can book a tour to Laguna de Guatavita.<\/strong> This mountain lake is famous for the legend El Dorado. The hike steep uphill goes through beautiful nature. This is probably the most popular hike as a day trip from Bogot\u00e1, especially perfect if you have one day and don’t want to put too much effort into getting anywhere.
