EMERALD WATERFALLS — A 2-day Quest to Chivor’s emerald lands. Boat to hidden waterfalls, stay in countryside cabins, and savor a local gastronomic experience. Optional 3rd day: emerald mine & Pozo de la Calavera.
DESCRIPTION
Chivor is not only the land of emeralds — it’s a gateway into Colombia’s green fire. Hidden waterfalls, the emerald-blue glow of the reservoir, and trails where the Muisca once walked create a landscape both sacred and untamed.
This two-day Quest begins in Bogotá and takes you deep into Boyacá’s emerald mountains. By boat, you’ll reach the hidden waterfalls of Chivor. The journey unfolds with paths to choose: kayak across the Emerald Reservoir, watch rare birds with local guides, or begin your morning with yoga above the water.
The experience includes:
-
Round-trip transportation Bogotá ↔ Chivor
-
Boat journey to hidden emerald waterfalls
-
1 night lodging in countryside cabins
-
Local gastronomic experience
-
Guided cultural storytelling about the emerald lands
-
Optional activities: kayak, birdwatching, or yoga
-
Life insurance coverage
✨ Extend your Quest:
-
Stay an extra day and descend into an emerald mine, where you’ll search for precious stones with your own hands. Then visit the legendary Pozo de la Calavera, a natural pool of otherworldly aquamarine blue — a secret gem of Chivor.
-
Or dive deeper with a 5-day mini-course of kitesurfing on the Emerald Reservoir — learning to ride the winds over waters as green as the stones beneath them.
Emeralds are not mined here — they are revealed by nature itself.
