1.Bogotá´s Best Private Day Trip: Salt Cathedral & Guatavita Lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $264Our pick

Review of Bogotá’s private day trip to Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral and Guatavita Lagoon, with practical advice on price, timing, walking, and value.

“A beautiful and peaceful place just outside Bogotá. The emerald-green lagoon is stunning, and the walk up is not too difficult but definitely worth it for the views. The history and legend of El Dorado make the visit even more special. Great spot to enjoy nature and learn a bit about Colombia’s culture.”

See Monserrate, La Candelaria, Plaza Bolívar, and Bogotá’s Gold Museum with private transport and a local guide in one busy day.

“Monserrate was nice, fantastic views of the city, lots of beautiful flowers up top.

I did like when we stopped for a minute in a small local bar popular among students to try some chicha, which was tasty.

I'd recommend trying to find specific historical figures and stories to tell while walking through to make it more interesting similar to the tale of Bolivar being led out…”

3.Villa de Leyva Day Trip from Bogota

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $281

Review of a private Villa de Leyva day trip from Bogotá, with colonial towns, Muisca ruins, blue ponds, crafts, costs, and practical tips.

“Villa de Leyva is definitely an enchanting village with an amazingly big plaza, it is worth seeing. However my tour guide, even if a very nice young man, was not prepared at all. He barely said few words about this place and if you pay for a private tour as I did you surely except much more information.”
