Tour on Horse Back

After walking to the center of town you are escorted to the horses to have an afternoon out to see the archaeological ruins at the Muisca observatory (Muiscas were an indigenous Indian tribe that the Spanish wiped-out). It was partially destroyed by the Spanish but enough remains intact for your visit. The Spanish also referred to it as "Little Hell" (El Infiernito), due to its large penile-like structures that stood for fertility.

The Spanish thought this was obscene and tried to destroy them. You then head to El Fosil — a museum housing a prehistoric kronosaurus marine reptile three meters long. You then return to Villa de Leyva by a different route taking in some more of the stunning countryside.
