Villa de Leyva: nature, history and adventure

Villa de Leyva offers a great variety of activities for all tastes and ages. Its rich landscape lets you discover some of Colombia’s most representative ecosystems, from the top of the Andean mountains in Iguaque National Park (3,700 m.a.s.l.) down to 1,700-meter-deep canyons like the Moniquirá River, passing through semi-desert areas and dense oak forests.

Within the historic center, the 17th and 18th-century architecture invites you to wander its cobblestone streets. You will also find pre-Hispanic ruins such as the Muisca Astronomical Observatory, and museums like the Fossil Museum or the Paleontological Research Center — unmatched historical and cultural alternatives.

In partnership with Colombian Highlands, a tour operator with more than 22 years of experience, we present a curated selection of tours so you can experience the very best of the region.
