Spring Windmill and El Infiernito Tour

Spring Windmill and El Infiernito Tour

On this tour, you will visit two prominent attractions in Villa de Leyva. Pickup will be at your hotel in Valle de Leyva at the agreed time, followed by a minibus ride to Escondido Valley, a 2 square kilometre plateau adjacent to the Cané River.

The journey will offer scenic views until you arrive at Molino de la Primavera, a two-story house where you will learn about the stone milling process. After this, you will have the opportunity to participate in a game of Tejo, an activity that involves throwing a metal ball into a clay court.

Following a walk along the trails in Villa de Leyva, the tour will proceed to El Infiernito, known as the Muisca astronomical observatory. Here, you can observe phallic monoliths, which are significant fertility symbols in the local culture, some of which stand over 13 feet (4 metres) tall.

The tour concludes with a return to your hotel, approximately four hours after the activity begins.
