Adventures of Guasca, Colombia
Off the beaten path.
Guasca, Colombia, is located in the Cundinamarca Department of Colombia and is about a 30-minute bus ride from Sopó.
Guasca contains one of the sacred lagoons for the Muisca culture, the Siecha Lagoon. It was considered a holy space in the Chingaza Natural National Park.
A park with all the elements of earth, including a lot of wind, I thought I was going to be blown away, and then I was blown away when I saw the wind clear to see one of the three sacred lagoons. We saw one of three, but that is better than none.
To be able to see the lagoons, you must book a tour with a certified guide of the Chingaza. I booked one in Spanish, so my focus was incredible; he took another girl and me up the mountain and kept our bellies full of tinto (coffee) and gummies.
He also explained to us every plant in the area and how they were used in the Muisca times and today.
