Enjoy a fully customizable private day trip from Bogotá into Colombia’s scenic Andean highlands.

Begin with a scenic mountain drive through valleys and countryside before reaching the Guatavita Lagoon, a sacred site linked to the legend of El Dorado. Explore the peaceful surroundings at a relaxed pace while learning about the rituals and beliefs tied to this iconic location. Continue to Guatavita, a charming highland town known for whitewashed buildings, panoramic views, and local crafts, with free time to stroll or enjoy a café. After your sightseeing, your driver returns you comfortably to your accommodation. This private, flexible experience can be booked on its own or added to a transfer.
