Villa de Leyva

Although we only had two nights in the Villa de Leyva, we could have easily spent more time there enjoying one of the most peaceful and picturesque towns we have visited so far. We didn't have the greatest weather, but there were enough patches of clear sky to visit the famous town square (the largest in Colombia), enjoy some great coffee and sweets and even a scenic horse ride around the town to a nearby dinosaur fossil (for Elise).

The horse ride was about as authentic as it gets, and Elise was cursing Ben when the guide pulled out leather riding pants (with tassels, studs and all). Ben had the camera ready to shoot, but unfortunately (for Ben) and fortunately (for Elise) the pants didn't fit. Phew.
