Right on Colombia’s largest lake, Lago de Tota<\/strong>, is the Reserva Natural Pueblito Antiguo. A beautiful place full of nature, stunning views, culture and history. Not for nothing is Lago de Tota and its surroundings one of my favorite places in Colombia. I have visited Lago de Tota many times, and this time too I was looking for a new sight. On my own, I set out and drove up into the mountains, on a dirt road full of holes, to the Pueblito Antiguo Nature Reserve. The ideal place not only to get to know the surroundings and enjoy beautiful views, but also to learn about the history of the Colombian department of Boyac\u00e1. Read all about this interesting open-air museum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lago de Tota: a natural wonder in Boyac\u00e1<\/h2>\n
\n

Not only stunningly beautiful, but with a size of 55 km\u00b2 and a location at an altitude of 3,015 meters, Lago de Tota is also the largest and highest freshwater lake in Colombia. After Titicaca, Tota is also the highest lake in South America. And if that is not enough you will also find here one of the highest located beaches in the world, namely Playa Blanca.<\/p>\n

Lago de Tota is up to 60 meters deep and a popular spot for diving. Don’t expect high temperatures here: due to the high altitude, the water is quite cold and you don’t need to bring your bikini to visit the beach either. The region around Lago de Tota<\/strong><\/a> is fantastically beautiful and also quite large. There is much to do and with ease you can entertain yourself here for a week.<\/p>\n

There aren’t many foreign tourists there, so you immediately have a beautiful destination off the beaten path.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
