About this plan
Looking for a different plan out of Bogotá? The Lake Tota day trip is one of the favorite escapes from the capital for a breath of fresh air in Boyacá. In a single day you can see one of the most beautiful natural spots in Colombia, with a white sand beach, quiet trails, and regional food worth trying.
The trip leaves very early from two pickup points in Bogotá and stops at Boyacá Bridge, Tibasosa, and the famous Playa Blanca on the lake. You get free time to eat, walk, and enjoy the view more than 200 kilometers from the city. The return ride makes a stop in Ventaquemada, a great place to buy something local before heading back.
It is a complete plan if you want nature, history, and regional food without dealing with the transport logistics yourself.
What to expect
- Early departure from two pickup points in Bogotá
