Villa de Leyva

Villa de Leyva is a charming Colombian town known for its well-preserved colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and relaxed atmosphere. It's located in the Boyacá department, about three hours by car or bus from Bogotá.

Founded in 1572, Villa de Leyva is a Colombian National Heritage Town and is on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Nestled in a high-altitude valley, the town's development has been slow and steady over the centuries, resulting in a remarkably well-preserved colonial aesthetic.

Several small wineries are starting to make a name for themselves, and wine tourism is becoming an increasingly popular activity in the region.
