The Park was undisturbed and well-maintained. We were even asked to leave our unopened water bottles with our driver, we were very impressed with their efforts to protect the environment. We were not allowed to walk up to the lagoon without a guide, unfortunately the guide didn’t speak English.

My wife and I had a great experience on our day trip to Guatavita. Our guide, Nicolás, was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. It was a pleasure to talk to him throughout the day, and learn more not just about Guatavita, but also about Bogotá and contemporary Colombian culture. (He gave us a great tip about a dance club where we ended up spending our last night in Bogotá.) Our driver was also excellent: very polite, prudent on the road, and efficient.

The lagoon of Guatavita is a must see attraction if you're in or around Bogota! If you decide to go, try to go with Viator Tours. The guide we had, David, was very knowledgable of not only that a e rich history behind the lake, but also familiar with a few tid bits on forraging. Don't miss this one!!!
