About Villa de Leyva
Villa de Leyva is Colombia's most picture-perfect colonial plaza—a UNESCO-recognized town square surrounded by whitewashed buildings with red-tile roofs. The main plaza is so large that it can accommodate 800 cows, though today it's filled with tourists, cafés, and colonial architecture. The town sits high in the Andes, with surrounding natural attractions.
