Description: The Muisca Raft is the symbol of El Dorado legend and the most legendary piece exhibited at the Gold Museum of Bogotá, Colombia. This raft made of gold was found in Pasca, Cundinamarca, in 1969. The raft represents the ceremony that used to take place in Lake Guatavita where the zipa cover his body in gold dust and drop gold and emerald offering into the lake.
