- Villa De Leyva Travel Guide & City Information
villa de leyva is Located some 100 kilometres from Bogota, most visitors pay an overnight visit to the old colonial village of Villa de Leyva. Small winding streets, lined up with orange roofed white houses, and surrounded by hills, the village is a charming place to spend some time. It boasts one of the biggest cobble-stoned squares in South America. The Hosteria del Molino la Mesopotamia used to be an old mill but has been turned into a hotel packed to the top with antiques. You can also visit the birthplace of Antonio Recaurte and the house in which Antonio Nariño lived. The latter translated the 'Rights of Man' into Spanish and both of them became important figures in the Spanish Independence Movement.
