Private Tour of Villa de Leyva: The Best Things to Do in Town
Three hours north of Bogotá, time moves differently. This private full-day tour takes you through a colonial town frozen in 1572, a potter's village where every facade is painted a different color, turquoise mineral pools in a semi-desert landscape, and a fossil museum sitting on one of the richest Cretaceous sites in South America. The adventure begins at Sisga Dam, a perfect spot for breathtaking photos, before continuing to Ráquira, a colorful town where Colombia’s best artisans keep centuries-old traditions alive. In Villa de Leyva, you’ll walk its cobblestone streets and stand in awe at the vast Plaza Mayor, where colonial charm remains untouched. Your guide will lead you to the Fossil Museum (entry included) to discover prehistoric wonders, and finally to the Pozos Azules, striking turquoise pools unlike anything else in Colombia. It’s more than sightseeing—it’s a private journey through legends, traditions, and the magic of Colombia’s highlands.
