Tour Description

Full day-by-day route

This scenic bus excursion starts early in Bogotá, heading to Ubaté for a typical local breakfast at the town's food market — the perfect fuel before a full day of activity. Along the way, the bus skirts the shores of Laguna de Fúquene, a scenic photo stop steeped in Muisca legends of hidden treasures and ancestral guardians.

The first big highlight of the day is Piedra Colgada, a natural cliff rising more than 150 meters above the Ubaté valley. With harness and helmet gear provided on site, travelers can approach the edge of the cliff for an adrenaline rush and panoramic views of the region, always under supervision.

Next up is Ráquira, the Boyacá town known throughout Colombia for its pottery and ceramic crafts. There's free time to wander its colorful streets, visit La Mano del Artesano and see the world's largest clay piggy bank, plus lunch on your own at one of the local restaurants.

The day wraps up in Villa de Leyva, one of Colombia's most beautiful colonial towns, with cobblestone streets and balconies made for a relaxed stroll. There's free time for a city tour, a visit to the Chocolate Museum, the Casa Terracota, horseback riding, or a milhoja pastry at one of its well-known bakeries (optional, not included). For those who want to close the day with music, some groups hop on an optional chiva rumbera party bus up to a hidden viewpoint in the Villa de Leyva desert before heading back to Bogotá via the Tunja highway.
