Indigenous communities

Along El Dorado Legend Route, the very first contact with the Muisca universe is provided
by its own protagonists: indigenous communities. The Muiscas built a unique and fully
sensitive relationship with nature:

Ceremonial Centers

Muisca ceremonies and rituals were carried out in places full of unique features. In these
spaces they performed offerings to gods, caciques or community members were buried,
and the new cognizant and priests were instructed.
El Dorado Legend Route incorporates places that keep a deep symbolic and geographical
connection with ancient ceremonies and rituals. Based on the sky, sun, moon, and starts
observation, Muiscas predicted and determined the best times to do offerings, oblations,
sowings and harvests.

Astronomy

Up on the sky, the stars keep ancestral secrets. El Dorado Legend Route encloses
astronomical observatories that have remained in time to realize of Sue (The Sun), Chía
(The Moon), the stars and all those elements from Heaven in Earth.
The stars observation allowed Muiscas to establish cycles for sowing and harvest, forecast
the weather, socially organize and explain the life itself. Muisca culture edified temples and
homes aligned with sunset, dusk and some planets like Venus.
