About Lake Guatavita
Lake Guatavita is a small body of water in a forest-fringed crater, northeast of Bogotá in central Colombia. It was a sacred site to the Muisca people, who cast elaborate gold offerings into its depths, inspiring the legend of El Dorado and several ill-fated attempts to drain the lake. The area has trails and many birds. Nearby, the town of Guatavita has a craft center. Tominé Reservoir is a hub for water sports.
