Head out of the city for the Laguna Guatavita, A magical, tranquil circular lake in the mountains that was the focal point of the Muisca tribe’s religious life. Here the ‘Zipa’ the local cacique was honoured at his succession. When the first Spanish conquistadores saw offerings of gold and emeralds being cast into the lake by a man coated in gold dust, the original legend of Eldorado was born (allegedly).

It’s a 2-hour bus ride from the northern terminal of the Transmilenio, Autopista Norte with Calle 170.
