About this tour
This tour is designed to offer you the best of Villa de Leyva in a single day.
The activity is divided into two days, one in the morning with spectacular action-packed activities and the other in the evening full of the history and culture of this charming colonial town.
- Morning: Adventure and Adrenaline
We will meet at the meeting point at 9 AM, from there we head to the Magiaventura Adventure Park, located just 30 minutes from the urban area of Villa de Leyva. In this park, you can enjoy adrenaline-filled activities that will test your courage and offer you unparalleled panoramic views. First, you will hop on the aerial bikes, where you will glide at over 35 meters high. This 300-meter round trip will take you from mountain to mountain, allowing you to enjoy the breathtaking views of the natural landscape that surrounds Villa de Leyva. You'll feel the thrill of being suspended in the air as you pedal and marvel at the surroundings.
Then, you'll experience the seated canopy zip line. This exciting 300-meter ride at a height of 30 meters will have you feeling the adrenaline rush as you glide through the air, enjoying a unique perspective of the mountainous terrain and the beautiful surrounding landscape.
After these action-packed activities, we'll head to the blue wells, one of Villa de Leyva's most fascinating natural attractions. There, you'll hop on an ATV, shared with another participant, to explore this stunning landscape. The ATV tour will take you through sandy trails and spectacular landscapes, giving you the opportunity to admire the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the blue wells.
At the end of the morning, around 1 PM, we will return to the urban center of Villa de Leyva, where you will have free time for lunch, enjoy the local cuisine, visit craft shops or simply relax and absorb the charming atmosphere.
- Night: History and Culture
At 7 PM, meet up with the group again at the starting point to begin the night tour in a colorful Chiva. This typical Colombian transport will take us on a historical and cultural journey through the cobblestone streets and the most emblematic sites of Villa de Leyva.
Our panoramic tour begins by passing by the Antonio Nariño Museum and Park, where you can learn about the life and legacy of one of the heroes of Colombia's independence from the comfort of the chiva.
We will continue to the Royal Liquor Factory, a historical place where you will discover, through the explanations of our guide, the traditional liquor production process and its importance in the local economy.
We will continue our tour passing by the San Agustín Cloister, a stunning colonial building that currently houses art exhibitions and cultural events. Your guide will provide details about the colonial architecture and the various artistic displays while we admire the cloister from the chiva. The tour will then take us to the Mesopotamia Mill, a restored old water mill that offers a fascinating insight into the technology and life in the colonial era.
Finally, we will visit the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites, a place of peace and spirituality that reflects the rich religious heritage of Villa de Leyva. We will observe this convent, still in operation, from the chiva, while the guide tells us about the monastic life and religious architecture.
To end the night, we will head to the semi-desert area of the Villa de Leyva viewpoint. There you will be welcomed with a delicious hot cocktail known as “Canelazo” and you can enjoy a cozy bonfire under the starry sky. We will roast marshmallows, enjoy music and dancing, and if the weather permits, we will have a beautiful astronomical observation, admiring the clarity of the night sky.
We will close this magical experience returning to the urban center of Villa de Leyva near the 10 PM.
* You have the option to book only the Morning Adventure option, in case you have other plans for the rest of the day during your visit to Villa de Leyva.
