Our journey begins at the fascinating Guatavita Lagoon, a place full of history, mystery, and magic. Here, you'll dive into the legend of El Dorado, a tale that has captivated conquerors and explorers for centuries, while discovering the central role that gold played in the beliefs and rituals of ancient Colombian civilizations, especially the Muiscas.
We head toward the charming town of Guatavita, surrounded by nature and a fresh, revitalizing breeze. In this picturesque location lies the famous Guatavita Lagoon, keeper of the secrets of the legend that mesmerized adventurers. Despite intense attempts to discover a golden treasure, what truly exists here is a profound spiritual tradition, a sacred connection with nature that the Muiscas held dear.
Guatavita Lagoon was considered a sacred space where the zipas (Muisca leaders) performed important ceremonies to honor the gods. The most famous ritual involved the new ruler, who, covered in gold, would immerse himself in the lagoon's waters aboard a raft. During this ceremony, valuable offerings of gold and precious stones were thrown into the water as a symbolic act of communication with the deities.
On this journey, you'll enjoy a guided walk along the trails surrounding the lagoon. In addition to following the footsteps of the ancient Muiscas, you'll be able to take in the imposing mountains that embrace the landscape.

One of the most impressive moments of the tour is the opportunity to experience the Golden Route at its origin. At the Gold Museum in Bogota, a perfect replica of the Muisca Raft, used in the rituals at Guatavita Lagoon, is on display. This piece is a tangible reflection of the symbolic relationship between the Muiscas and gold, a metal that represented not just material wealth, but also a sacred link between humans and gods. This spiritual legacy remains alive in the collective memory of Colombians.
