Itinerary
Conoceras un hermoso pueblo lleno de magia y misticismo
El convento del Santo Ecce Homo en Colombia es un convento dominico del siglo XVII situado en el municipio de Sutamarchán del departamento de Boyacá a 8 kilómetros de Villa de Leyva.
The Ain Karim vineyard is located at KM 5 of the Sutamarchán - Santa Sofía highway and is a beautiful terrain, with an artificial lake and a horizon planted with vines. A guided visit can be made in which they explain the process of cultivation and benefit of the grape, as well as the fermentation and processing of the wine. In the end you can taste one of their wines, marketed under the Marqués de Villa de Leyva brand, with the help of an expert who will help you get the most out of the matter.
Villa de Leyva is a Colombian city located northeast of Bogotá. It is known for its whitewashed colonial houses, cobblestone streets, and the large Plaza Mayor. In the square is the 17th-century church of Nuestra Señora del Rosario and the House of the First Congress of the United Provinces, where the new laws were drafted after the independence of 1812.
The marriage of Augusto Duplat and Mary Luz Parra in 2013 was linked to the museum. He, an architect, and she, a paleontologist and economist, gave shape to a place that would release tensions and become a favorite of locals and tourists in the magical and colonial Villa de Leyva, a perfect accomplice of cobblestone streets and clay tiles that incite a walk through antiquity and to live an eternal chocolate honeymoon, like that of its owners.
The architecture of Ráquira is simple but very beautiful and attractive, especially the intense colors of the houses, the balconies, and the handicrafts dazzle visitors. For many, Ráquira is like a big Christmas nativity scene come to life: this small town is beautiful everywhere you look! There you can enjoy a typical regional or vegetarian lunch.

About Bogotá
Bogotá, Colombia's capital, sits high in the Andes at around 2,600 metres, with a colonial old quarter, a famed gold museum and a hilltop church.
La Candelaria, the old quarter, lies at the foot of the eastern hills, with streets of colonial houses, galleries and murals around Plaza de Bolívar and its cathedral. The Gold Museum holds thousands of pre-Hispanic gold objects, and the Botero Museum shows the plump figures of Fernando Botero, who gave the city his collection. Above town, a funicular and cable car rise to Monserrate, a white church at over 3,100 metres.
Top-ranked sights in Bogotá: Plaza de Bolivar, Botero Museum (Museo Botero), Gold Museum (Museo del Oro).
