Frequenly questions about El Dorado

The history of El Dorado began with the Muiscas, a wise and hardworking people who lived near a lagoon called Guatavita. Each time a new chief was crowned, the Muisca performed a ritual in honor of their gods. In this ritual, the chief covered his body with gold dust until it shone like a golden sun. Then, he would get on a raft, paddle to the center of the lagoon and offer up treasures like gold and precious stones, throwing them into the water to thank the gods.
