Of all the beautiful heritage towns in Colombia, Villa de Leyva is perhaps the very best. It is a shining of example of what can be achieved with only a few simple elements; uneven cobbled streets, well-preserved colonial era architecture and pristine whitewashed façades. The spacious main square is the heart of the town, from which narrow alleyways branch of in all directions, hiding churches, monasteries and traditional handicraft shops. Villa de Leyva retains a relaxed and old time feel, especially during the week when less tourists descend upon it, and at 3 hours north of Bogotá is the perfect day trip or overnight stop to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city.

A 4 hour drive further north from Villa de Leyva is Barichara, a small town that seems to be frozen in time, with its white-walled houses, cobbled streets, and red-tiled roofs. The town is a refuge for artists and anyone looking for somewhere to be inspired.
