A road trip from Bogot\u00e1, always a good idea. We should do that way more often. But when we go, we really enjoy the unknown Colombia. Because although I have already seen a lot around Bogot\u00e1, there are still many undiscovered places left. This article is the first part of our day road trip through Cundinamarca, where we visited a beautiful lake, came face to face with a group of llamas and wandered around an interesting cemetery. Colombia did it again<\/em>: what an amazing country! Discover Colombia off the beaten track<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Embalse del Sisga<\/h3>\n

With two friends, we get in the car and follow the route I mapped out the day before. On the map I found a lake I did not yet know: Embalse del Sisga. The location at 2600 meters altitude and today also heartily cloudy is the combination for low temperatures. Wrapped in a thick cardigan and scarf, I walk to the lake, which turns out to be amazingly beautiful. Represa del Sisga is just like the lake of Neusa<\/strong><\/a> and Embalse de Tomin\u00e9, <\/strong><\/a>a reservoir created to regulate water in Cundinamarca. The lake is deep enough for scuba diving, and you can also do great hiking through the nature around the lake. I intensely enjoy the views, the fresh and especially clean air and the peace.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
