On this incredible Spring Windmill and El Infiernito Tour, you'll have the chance to 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 the minibus to the Escondido Valley, a 2 square kilometre plateau bathed by the Cané River.
During the scenic journey, we will reach the Molino de la Primavera, a two-story house where you'll learn about the stone milling process. Afterward, we will participate in a game of Tejo, where you throw a metal ball into a clay court.
After a walk through the trails surrounding Villa de Leyva, we will arrive at El Infiernito, known as the astronomical observatory of Muisca. During our visit, we will discuss the significance of the phallic monoliths, which stand over 13 feet (4 metres) tall, as fertility symbols in the local culture.
Finally, we will take you back to the hotel, arriving four hours after the activity starts.
