Villa de Leyva is a beautiful colonial town near to the city of Bogota. Its 400 plus year old streets are lined with tourist shops selling ponchos and leather bags. There are lots of restaurants to chose from, and it has the largest plaza in Colombia (14,000 square metres). We loved it.
We did manage to do one of the tours while we were at El Pantano, and that was the tour of Finca de San Antonio. The finca is run by four brothers and is home to them, their families and their 80 year old parents. Manuel, one of the brothers, picked us up at El Pantano and we began the walk from there to the finca. The dirt road was steep and the day, even at 8 am, was already hot and muggy.
