Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Guatavita could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Guatavita a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
