Name: Villa de Leyva
Region: Boyaca and Santander (from Bogota to the coast)
Telcode:
Population:
Elevation:
Temperature: 18
Description:

Villa de Leyva is a perfectly preserved colonial town north of Bogota, and the surrounding mountains are stunning too. It has decent tourist infrastructure but is not overrun by tourism yet. You easily can see the entire village in a few hours, but you'll want to hang out longer. Hiking in the surroundings is great, and you can go camping too.

Villa de Leyva was declared a national monument in 1954, and has been preserved almost perfectly: houses are whitewashed, streets are cobblestoned. The town is small, but the surrounding area will make you want to stay and hike and perhaps camp out.
