Phenomenal Experience!!!
If you are LUCKY ENOUGH to get Sergio and Jesus as your guides you are guaranteed the most WONDERFUL tour! Sergio is HILARIOUS and his energy is contagious! He made the 12hr trip seem SHORT! the locations were also phenomenal and our guides were insanely knowledgeable about every detail! I cannot recommend this enough!!

A must visit to the sacred lake of indigenous people
The lake is wonderful, the traditional food at the restaurant also amazing, the path to the lake is among the nature, the explanation about the history of indigenous people and visiting a characteristic ceremonial house of them were spectacular

Great tour - transport and tickets to the salt mines
Good package with just the transfer and tickets to the salt mine. The driver gave good info as we drove (only in Spanish) and arranged entry to the mine - with audio cruises in English. You then tour the mine yourself (or with a guide in Spanish). He then offered for us to have lunch in town (at own cost) or to look around town - which we did.

When in Bogota do this trip!
First of all I want to thank our driver Christian for driving us safely to every location and our guide Sergio who is fun and ready to answer every question. The trip was very good and gave us enough time to experience every location, which Sergio giving us solid information at every step. I went here solo, but didn't feel solo at all. Highly recommended.

Great long tour out of the city
We did the private tour and Gustavo navigated the roads like a trooper while Jorge gave us a very informative and insightful tour all the way out to the town and the lake. It is quite a drive out and around; and traffic is hectic leaving and coming back to Bogota so this tour really requires a full day. We felt safe and well taken care of with these guys. The towns, the Lake Guatavita, the Salt Cathedral and all the panoramic views were so worth it. We arrived back all exhausted after 10 hours but very happy with this experience.

Well worth the trip, beautiful lake and surrounding scenery
This was a really enjoyable day out. The countryside was beautiful, Guatavita village is pretty, Guatavita lake is absolutely stunning, and the lunch was excellent. Sarai was a really good guide, friendly and enthusiastic about what she was showing us. (Our driver, however, drove very aggressively and at times unsafely - hence only 4 stars.) My only advice for future tourists is don't expect a long 'hike'. We were in the nature reserve for about 2 hours, but 1 hour of that was basically standing still being told (interesting) stuff, and the other was at a slow pace with plenty of stops - needed because of the altitude (2920m at the start of the walk, 3070m at the end - about 400m higher than Bogotá). I live at sea level and I was still struggling with the altitude on my 3rd day in the city, so I appreciated the slow pace. I would definitely recommend the day to others

A long tour but totally worth it. Great lunch and a great guide made it worthwhile
This was a long tour of 12 hours but totally worth it. Sergio was our guide and Sandro was our driver. Sergio was hilarious and brimming with knowledge and he truly made our tour enjoyable. I learnt so much about Colombian history and culture on this tour. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch had some truly amazing food, which helped keep our spirits up for sure.

Perfect Day Trip into Colombia's History and Legend!
My wife and I took the full-day tour to the Zipaquira Salt Cathedral and the Laguna de Guatavita, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip to Colombia. It perfectly blends incredible engineering, deep history, and stunning natural beauty.
Our guide Lorena was excellent, the transport was comfortable, and everything ran on time.

Salt cathedral and sacred lagoon
Sergio was one of a kind
those 151 uneven stone steps took a lot out of me and my lungs but Sergio and the group we travelled with encouraged me every step of the way, his knowledge was appreciated for all of the sites we had seen and his love of music was a great distraction on the long ride home

How to get there
When to visit

- If you’re not acclimated the altitude can be a challenge, so plan to move slowly and drink plenty of water.
- While short, the hike to the lake crosses rough terrain, making sturdy shoes a must.
- Wear layered clothing, as the weather here can change quickly.
- All visitors to Lake Guatavita must explore with a tour, which set out regularly from the trailhead.
