On this incredible Spring Windmill and El Infiernito Tour, you'll visit two of Villa de Leyva's most renowned attractions.

Spring Windmill and El Infiernito Tour

You'll be picked up at your hotel in Valle de Leyva at the agreed time to board a minibus to the Escondido Valley, a 2 square kilometre plateau bathed by the Cané River.

Enjoy the scenic journey until reaching the Molino de la Primavera, a two-story house where you'll learn about the stone milling process. Afterward, you'll participate in a game of Tejo, where you throw a metal ball into a clay court.

After a walk through trails surrounding Villa de Leyva, you'll arrive at El Infiernito, known as the astronomical observatory of Muisca. Here, you'll explore a plain dotted with phallic monoliths and discuss their cultural significance as fertility symbols, noting their height of over 13 feet (4 metres).

Finally, you'll be returned to your hotel, approximately four hours after the start of the activity.
