Villa de Leyva

Concertinaed hillsides surround the perfectly preserved whitewashed buildings and ancient cobblestone streets of Villa de Leyva, its historic charm captured forever following its declaration as a national monument in 1954. Grand plazas, Spanish-style houses and 16th century churches make this one of the country’s most beguiling destinations and a fascinating step back in time.

Villa de Leyva

Wander the streets with or without a guide, exploring the narrow alleyways and popping into family-run cafes and hosterías to sample hearty traditional fare with a convivial welcome. Soak in the atmosphere of the main square, and be transported back to a simpler time.
