Visit to Laguna de Guatavita was truly a magical experience - re how colonizers destroyed indigenous people & their customs.
Story: Muisca tribe respected & considered Laguna de Guatavita very sacred. Early spaniards were told gold was dumped in laguna
Lake Guatavita was reputedly one of the sacred lakes of the Muisca, and a ritual conducted there is widely thought to be the basis for the legend of El Dorado, "the golden one"
. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Guat…
Spaniards went in search of gold, tried to empty the laguna by digging a break through the mountain. Most work was done by enslaved locals. Tried to drain water to find gold, but were disappointed with a very little find.
Now Laguna de Guatavita is protected
