The most beautiful lake I’ve been to this year: Guavio! Reservoir or not: it is truly beautiful there. During a road trip<\/strong><\/a>far off the beaten path in Cundinamarca, we arrived at this little marvel after hours of driving. All that time in the car was more than worth it, because how beautiful this is….. In this article, I finally show you the photos so you too can enjoy this impressive piece of Colombia.<\/p>\n

Embalse del Guavio: Colombia off the beaten track<\/h2>\n

Way off the beaten path, we found the very impressive Lake Guavio. Peace, nature, silence and pure beauty. Getting there is not easy, on bad roads and through dark tunnels. But when I caught the first glimpse, I knew it was all worth it. Embalse del Guavio, like many lakes in Colombia, is a reservoir, where a dam was built in 1989 with a height of 243 meters. A height that elevated the dam to the No. 10 highest dam in the world. Embalse del Guavio is located in the department of Cundinamarca and generates some 5890 Gigawatt hours annually. This makes Guavio an important source of energy for life in Bogot\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
