Visit the place that gave birth to the legend of El Dorado and take the most amazing photos in a house where everything is backwards! Located a short distance from Bogota, the lagoon is in a stunning natural setting surrounded by mountains and vegetation. On the way there, we are sure you will love the picturesque walk through the Andean mountains, where you can enjoy breathtaking views. There, according to legend, the Muiscas practiced ceremonies by throwing gold objects with precious stones into the lagoon of Guatavita. However, once the Spanish learned of the ritual, history went around the world and became the dream of many Europeans who came to the place in search of gold. Afterwards, we will also visit a popular attraction that will play with your mind: The Mad House. It is a sloping construction that, based on optical illusions, will provide you with a perfect moment of fun for your photos.

Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bogotá is not rushed.
Is Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bogotá can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bogotá within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bogotá?
+
On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bogotá?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bogotá?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour?
+

+

What languages is Lagoon of Guatavita and Casa Loca Full Day Group Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
