## About this plan

Want to leave Bogotá and see the best of Boyacá in a single day? This tour picks you up at your hotel and takes you to Villa de Leyva and Ráquira, two of the most visited colonial towns in Colombia.

On the way you stop at Boyacá Bridge, eat a traditional breakfast, and walk across the cobblestone plaza in Villa de Leyva. Then you continue to Ráquira, known for its colorful streets and pottery tradition. There you find a giant clay piggy bank you will not expect. You have free time to buy crafts and grab lunch, and the day ends with a panoramic view from La Mano del Artesano park.

It is a full plan if you enjoy history, crafts, and towns with a colonial feel, and you want transport and a guide included so you do not have to plan the logistics yourself.
