Guatavita Lake is one of the largest and most beautiful parks in the city of Guatavita. As this landmark is very far from the nearest city, you need to arrange private transportation to get there or buy a half day tour which is quite popular. This tour will arrange round trip transportation in comfortable buses. Once you arrive to this place you might want to spend three or four hours to include the hike, stops for drinking water, break, and picture time. This place is surrounded just with nature and fresh air. There are many trail options which are serene, peaceful, not crowded, lush green and an easy to hike. The hike could be challenging only in the case you are not used to high altitudes.
