Villa de Leyva holidays

Situated a 3-hour drive north of Bogotá, this beautifully preserved 16th-century town has hardly changed with the passing of time. Stroll along picturesque cobbled streets lined with crimson bougainvillea and whitewashed houses, and soak up the colonial-era atmosphere in the main square, one of the largest in the Americas. Outside the town, visit a historic Dominican convent and see the world's most complete kronosaurus fossil at El Fosil museum.
