The road to Villa de Leyva winds downhill 39 kilometers (23.5 miles) from Tunja through sparsely greened hills of spellbinding rock. Those incredibly folded strata tilt almost vertical, revealing a fascinating geological history. The road is good blacktop, with some parts subject to flooding and rockslides. Along the way you will pass Cucaita, a village with a 450-year tradition of art and culture.
