Excursions in Guatavita

Hey there, adventure seekers and culture enthusiasts! Are you ready to embark on a journey that'll make your Instagram followers green with envy? Look no further than Guatavita, Colombia's hidden gem, and let Foxiepass be your trusty guide to all the wonders this enchanting town has to offer.

The Legend of El Dorado Comes Alive

First stop on our whirlwind tour? The legendary Laguna de Guatavita, of course! This crater lake isn't just a pretty face – it's steeped in fascinating history and myth. Legend has it that this was the birthplace of the El Dorado legend. Picture this: Muisca chiefs, covered in gold dust, would float to the center of the lake on rafts, tossing golden offerings into the waters. Talk about making a splash!

Our guides at Foxiepass will regale you with tales that'll transport you back in time. You'll feel like you're right there, watching the glittering ceremony unfold. And who knows? Maybe you'll spot a glint of gold in the water – just don't get any ideas about diving in!

Step Back in Time in Guatavita Nuevo

Next up, we'll whisk you away to Guatavita Nuevo, a town that's like stepping into a time machine. This isn't your average Colombian pueblo – it's a carefully planned replica of a Spanish colonial town, built in the 1960s after the original Guatavita was flooded to create a reservoir. Talk about a fresh start!

As we stroll through the pristine white-washed buildings and perfectly manicured plaza, you might feel like you're on a movie set. But trust me, this place is 100% real and 200% charming. Don't forget to peek into the unique circular church – it's an architectural marvel that'll have you scratching your head and reaching for your camera.

Nature's Playground: Tominé Reservoir

Feeling adventurous? Let's head to the Tominé Reservoir. This massive body of water isn't just pretty to look at – it's a playground for water sports enthusiasts. With Foxiepass, you can:

• Try your hand at windsurfing (warning: you will get wet!)
• Kayak along the serene waters
• Go for a refreshing swim (if you're brave enough to face the chilly water)
• Simply relax on the shore and soak in the breathtaking views

And if you're lucky, you might spot some of the local wildlife. Just keep an eye out for the mischievous capybaras – they're basically oversized guinea pigs with a penchant for photobombing!

A Taste of Local Flavor

No Foxiepass tour would be complete without tantalizing your taste buds. We'll introduce you to some mouthwatering local delicacies that'll have you saying "más, por favor!" faster than you can say "ajiaco". From hearty soups to fresh trout from the nearby rivers, Guatavita's cuisine is a delicious reflection of its mountain location and rich cultural heritage.

And let's not forget about the coffee! Colombia is famous for its brew, and Guatavita doesn't disappoint. We'll take you to a local café where you can sip on some of the best coffee you've ever tasted while chatting with friendly locals. Just don't blame us if you end up buying half the café's coffee supply to take home!
