Declared a national monument in 1945, this magical town has been preserved in its entirety and virtually no modern architecture exists, making it one of the finest examples of a traditional colonial settlement anywhere in the Americas. At an altitude of 2,140m, it enjoys a healthy, mild climate and relaxed atmosphere, providing a popular weekend break for city dwellers. Each December Villa de Leyva hosts a lively fiesta when neighbouring towns compete against each other with colourful fireworks displays and a street carnival takes place in its narrow, cobbled streets. For three days, the city is then dominated by food, drink, music and dance in a fantastic party called La Fiesta de la Luz.

Walk around a rural colonial town
Take in the hidden corners of this quaint colonial town with its white-washed buildings and cobbled streets via a walking tour. As well as offering a glimpse into a traditional rural town, this is also one of Colombia's best-preserved historic villages.
