Trip to Colombia

Just wondering how cold it actually gets in Villa de Leyva? In all the photos I see people are bundled up like it's a Canadian winter. What type of jacket is recommended? Light jacket like a windbreaker or something with a little insulation? Thanks!

It can get near freezing, especially late at night and early in the morning. I'd recommend some insulation. Like a good fall jacket.

Thanks! I just wondered because I was in Argentina last year in the fall and some people looked like they were wearing down coats - it was 50F to 60F. That's a nice temperature range for me - not what I'd consider winter coat weather.

Weather doesn't change like it does in Argentina. Basically the same all year round.

We have been there several times and actually spent the night there once. The weather is nice but can get cool at night. If it is overcast it will even get cold in the day.

If I were inclined to purchase a vacation home I would seriously consider that area.

A light jacket and long sleeved shirt will do nicely after the sun goes down.
