Tour Description

Villa de Leyva

Villa de Leyva was founded in 1572 in the Zaquencipá Valley, part of the territory of the Muisca indigenous peoples, and has witnessed the history of Latin America, from pre-Columbian times, through the conquest, the colonial era, to the struggles for independence. Its houses and streets are an architectural and cultural legacy from each of these moments. 

Villa de Leyva is located in the heart of Boyacá, a department that, due to its challenging mountain passes and high altitude, is the birthplace of great Colombian cyclists and one of the epicenters of cycling in Latin America.

  • 9 days, 8 nights in the best accommodations available in our Villa
  • 5 bike rides, each with an average of 50 km (31 mi) and 600 meters (1.970 ft) of positive elevation gain, just hard enough to enjoy the route, saving time and energy to experience the village.
