Spring Windmill and El Infiernito Tour

Spring Windmill and El Infiernito Tour

On this tour, you'll visit two of Villa de Leyva's renowned attractions. You'll be picked up at your hotel in Valle de Leyva at the agreed time and board the minibus to the Escondido Valley, a 2 square kilometer plateau bathed by the Cané River.

Observe the scenic journey until reaching the Molino de la Primavera, a two-story house where you'll learn about the stone milling process. After this, participate in a game of Tejo (shuffleboard), an old tradition where you throw a metal ball into a clay court.

After walking through the trails surrounding Villa de Leyva, you'll soon reach El Infiernito, the astronomical observatory of Muisca. As you stroll through this area dotted with phallic monoliths, discussions will cover the importance of these fertility symbols for local culture and their impressive height of over 13 feet (4 meters).

Finally, the tour will conclude with your return to the hotel, approximately four hours after the start of the activity.
