Overview of the tour in Villa de Leyva

Walking the streets of Villa de Leyva we will find the anecdotes of our heroes, as well as the stories behind the best dishes of our gastronomy, knowledge and crafts; also the architecture, religion and everything that has influenced Villa de Leyva to be part of the heritage towns of Colombia and one of the favorite destinations for nationals and foreigners

All this accompanied by a local guide and artist (storyteller or actor) who, in a humorous and cultural way, will bring you closer to the life of a villaleyvano. The tour will take you through the cobblestone streets, parks, convents, monasteries, churches, cafes and many other places of interest.

Hi, I'm Majo, I was born and raised in Villa de Leyva where I've been a guide for 7 years. I have always liked to meet people and places for this reason, I have traveled and lived in foreign countries like France and New Zealand, experiences that allowed me to know other points of view and language.

For 10 years we decided to rescue the historical memory and anecdotes of my town through oral storytelling. Today we use this knowledge to bring national and foreign tourists closer to the life of a villaleyvano.
