Top Descriptions
| With one of the largest squares in the Americas, and a colonial atmosphere that has changed very little over the last 400 years, Villa de Leyva is rightly so a magnet for domestic and foreign tourists. While it might very well be sleepy and picturesque, there are still some exciting activities going on here in the surrounding countryside if you care to exploit them. Just perhaps don’t plan on spending too long, but don’t miss out on this lovely little town just because it’s touristic – there’s a reason people flock here. – Daniel |

Top Tips
| Consider walking out to the Museum of the Fossil (Museo el Fosil). It’s a pleasant enough walk, and there are a couple of other attractions on the way. |
| Sleepy it may be for 99% of the year, but when the Villa de Leyva Kite Festival (Festival de las Cometas) comes to town the town really wakes up. |
| If you’re a budget backpacker, accommodation prices can be a little steep. The Renacer Hostel is really great value, however, and it’s only a short but pleasing walk to the edge of town. |
