Bogotá to Villa de Leyva Transport
Transport Between Bogotá and Villa de Leyva
If you want to travel comfortably between Bogotá and one of Colombia's most authentic towns, this transfer between Bogotá and Villa de Leyva is the perfect option.
We’ll pick you up at the meeting point you select when booking, where you’ll board a comfortable car or minibus and relax during the journey, which takes approximately 2 hours.
In Bogotá, we recommend exploring the La Candelaria neighborhood, where you can admire vibrant street art and visit the famous Gold Museum. You can also head up to Monserrate Hill to enjoy one of the best panoramic views of the city.
In Villa de Leyva, the highlight is its Plaza Mayor, an immense cobbled square covering 14,000 square meters (150,000 square feet) that will make you feel tiny beside its grandeur. Nearby, you can discover prehistoric fossils at El Fósil Museum or visit the curious Casa Terracota, the largest piece of pottery in the world.
How it Works
When booking, you’ll be able to choose between three options:
- One-way to Villa de Leyva: we’ll pick you up from your hotel in northern Bogotá and take you to the center of Villa de Leyva. If you’re staying in southern Bogotá, pickup will be at the National Museum.
- One-way to Bogotá: in this case, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Villa de Leyva.
- Round-trip transport: the most complete option, allowing you to travel to and from your destination from the meeting point you choose when booking.
