About this plan
You can leave Bogotá behind and feel like you stepped into another century on this day trip to Villa de Leyva. The plan starts early with pickup at your hotel and a road trip into the heart of Boyacá, with a stop along the way so you can grab breakfast on your own.
Once you reach Villa de Leyva, a walking tour takes you through the old town. The Plaza Mayor, the largest in Colombia, sets the pace. After that, you head into the Paleontology Museum to see fossils found in the area. You get free time to grab lunch and pick an extra stop, like the ostrich farm, the Pozos Azules pools, or the photogenic Mano de Barro sculpture.
At the end of the day, the transport drops you back at your hotel in Bogotá. It is a great getaway if you want to see one of the country's most charming towns without dealing with the logistics yourself.
