Our great trip

On Thursday our class was going to visit Guatavita. In the bus we where very exited for going to Guatavita, but suddenly the students where tired for being in the bus.When we arrived to Guatavita we ate something and entered to the ecological reserve where the Guatavita lake was.We where going to walk after the man that was going to guide us in the trip talked about Guatavita and the ecological reserve.

He talked about an interesting legend there in the lake.It said that in the lake was where the Muisca celebrated a ritual in which the Zipa( named "El Dorado") was covered in gold dust, going out the water.

It was very interesting.After the man talked we came outside and started to walk to the Guatavita lake. It was very cool and it was beautiful I liked it a lot.But some people didn't liked it, the thought that they walked a lot for anything just for seeing a lake.For me it was not only a lake it was something very beautiful that I can not tell you how much I liked it.

I invite you to go to Guatavita.It is very awesome. I hope that if you go, you like it the same way I liked it.
