4-Star Hotels in Villa de Leyva

Step back in time on the cobblestone streets of Villa de Leyva, a perfectly preserved colonial town cradled by the Andean mountains. The immense Plaza Mayor, one of the largest town squares in South America, is the heart of it all, surrounded by whitewashed buildings with terracotta roofs. Visitors come to wander the fossil museum at El Fósil, explore the underground tunnels of the Casa Terracota, and hike through the surreal landscape of the Pozos Azules. The pace here is slow, measured by the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages.

This is a destination for couples seeking a romantic retreat and families looking for a peaceful cultural escape. The historic center is the most atmospheric area to base yourself, putting everything within easy walking distance. While there’s no airport in town, Villa de Leyva is a scenic three-hour drive from Bogotá, with regular bus services making the journey straightforward.
