Villa de Leyva

Villa de Leyva is one of the most beautiful towns in Colombia. In its mountains lies the sacred Iguaque Lagoon, which according to the cosmogony of the Muisca indigenous group, humanity originated there. From its waters emerged Bachué with a child in her arms. When he became a man, they procreated children and populated the earth, before disappearing into the lagoon transformed into snakes.
