Breathtaking Views at Mirador Embalse de Tominé

Getting There

• Public Bus

  From the center of Bogotá (e.g., Parque de los Periodistas), take a TransMilenio bus to the 'Portal del Norte' station. Once at Portal del Norte, exit the station and find the buses to Guatavita. Look for a bus marked 'Guatavita' or 'Zipaquira' and board it. The journey takes about 1-1.5 hours. Once you arrive in Guatavita, ask locals for directions to Mirador Embalse de Tominé or follow signs that indicate 'Embalse de Tominé'. You will need to walk approximately 25 minutes from the bus drop-off point to reach the observation deck.

• Shared Van

  From the city center, head to the 'Terminal de Transportes de Bogotá' (Bus Terminal). Look for the section where shared vans (or 'colectivos') to Guatavita are located. Purchase a ticket for a van bound for Guatavita. The ride takes about 1 hour. Upon arrival in Guatavita, you can either walk to the Mirador Embalse de Tominé (approximately a 25-minute walk) or hire a local taxi to take you directly to the observation deck.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If you prefer a more comfortable journey, you can use a local taxi or rideshare app (like Uber or Didi). Simply enter 'Mirador Embalse de Tominé' as your destination. The trip from central Bogotá to the mirador will take approximately 1.5 hours, depending on traffic conditions. Make sure to confirm the estimated fare with the driver or app before starting your journey.
