The 20 Best Things to Do in Bogotá, Colombia (Updated 2025)

"I took a day trip to Laguna de Guatavita and found it to be a peaceful, sacred site linked to the El Dorado legend — located about 60 kilometers north of Bogotá, it makes a great break from the city and is often combined with nearby hot springs in Sesquilé on guided tours." - Matthew Kepnes
