Villa De Leyva, Colombia

Not so far from Bogota is a smaller colonial town that is quite popular with tourists. I thought I'd check it out and besides I could camp there for cheap. The large plaza, white houses, and cobble stone streets of the other colonial towns I had been too were also here. It was a very pretty town with large mountains towering over. I wondered the streets and sat drinking tinto in small cafes.

I was lucky there was a cultural week in progress at the San Francisco monastery. Two nights in a row I went to see live music the first night classical music and the second traditional Colombian music. I also watched a German film in a local theater that was free too.

It was a nice relaxing town with not a whole lot going on which is what I needed before heading on to Bogota.Weiterlesen
