SACRED WATER: Legend of El Dorado & Guatavita

1 Day

For the Muisca, lakes and lagoons were not mere bodies of water; they were sacred spaces, spiritual portals, and the very birthplace of life. In their worldview, water was deeply intertwined with the creation of the universe, fertility, and cosmic balance.

  • Itinerary: The experience begins in the charming, whitewashed colonial town of Guatavita, beloved for its peaceful atmosphere and mountain views. The journey continues to one of the most sacred spots in the Muisca universe: the legendary Guatavita Lagoon (the cradle of the El Dorado legend).
