FAQ
Questions before booking
What does the tour include?
Private round-trip transport from your accommodation in Bogotá, a local guide, entrance to the lagoon, lunch with a vegetarian option, one bottle of water per person and basic travel insurance.
Is it private or shared?
Private: the vehicle and the guide are for your group, and the departure time adapts to your hotel.
How much do you walk?
The lagoon trail is short but has a slope and steps, and it sits above 3,000 metres. It is done at an easy pace, with stops.
Can children do it?
Yes, walking at their own pace. It is a mountain trail, not a theme park: bring warm clothes.
What should I bring?
A jacket, shoes with grip, sunscreen and water. The savannah is cold and it can rain in any month.
Is lunch at the lagoon?
No: it is in the town of Guatavita, after the walk. Ask for the vegetarian option when you book.
How do I pay?
You see the price in the calendar when you pick a date and the number of people.
How do I cancel?
Each rate has its own policy, shown in the calendar before you pay. We can send it in writing over WhatsApp.
