Villa de Leyva

El 12 de junio de 1572, con el nombre de Villa de Nuestra Señora de Santa María de Leyva, esta ciudad fue fundada por Hernán Suárez de Villalobos, bajo el mando de don Andrés Díaz Venero de Leyva, quien fuera el primer presidente del Nuevo Reino de Granada. El territorio ocupado por los indígenas Muiscas, conocido como Valle de Zaquencipá, en donde se encontraba el principal observatorio astronómico de esta comunidad, el cual es reconocido en la actualidad como El Infiernito -uno de los atractivos más visitados de la región- fue el asentamiento de esta población. Sin embargo, doce años más tarde, se trasladó a  su actual ubicación. 

Ubicada en la Provincia de Ricaurte, en la cadena montañosa de la cordillera de los Andes, Villa de Leyva se erige como un municipio con gran variedad de ecosistemas y paisajes, entre los que se destacan:

Zona húmeda: comprende la franja del Santuario de Flora y  Fauna de Iguaque, con diferentes ecosistemas como páramo seco y bosque montano. Esta zona  es de gran importancia por las lagunas de origen glacial que brotan  y hacen parte de la cuenca del río Suárez.

Zona seca: ubicada al suroccidente del municipio, en el que abunda el ecosistema desértico, en parte, debido a la explotación agropecuaria que se dio durante siglos en la región.

Zona subhúmeda: En el centro y nororiente, con bosques nativos, en los que se presentan  brotes de agua. En esta zona, se establece la mayor cantidad de población.

Hace millones de años, esta región estuvo rodeada por un extenso mar interno, del cual aún hoy se pueden observar los vestigios de sus pobladores, animales y plantas del Cretácico y el Mesozóico. Es común que, al caminar por sus alrededores, se encuentren amonitas de interés arqueológico.

Visitar sus monasterios, conventos, iglesias y casonas, que se encuentran, no solo dentro de la ciudad, sino a sus alrededores, es una experiencia para los turistas que día a día hacen este recorrido, descubriendo la historia que se tejió tras la Conquista.  Muchas de estas antiguas casonas se han convertido en hoteles, hostales, hospederías y restaurantes que acogen a los visitantes, ofreciéndoles productos típicos de la región, en medio de un ambiente colonial.

Sus pobladores son orgullosos descendientes de un municipio cargado de historia, cultura, arte, arquitectura  y patrimonio arqueológico y natural, que se ha convertido en un destino imperdible para los amantes de la tranquilidad, tanto así, que se ha convertido en refugio de grandes artistas, pintores, escritores, artesanos, y ha sido escenario de distintas producciones televisivas y cinematográficas.

Gastronomía

Villa de Leyva cuenta con una variada oferta gastronómica, que deleita a propios y visitantes, no solo con platos típicos de la región, como el conocido “cocido boyacense”, o las arepas, si no con sus exquisiteces internacionales como comida asiática, árabe, italiana o mexicana. Así mismo, este municipio se precia de ser uno de los destinos en Colombia donde las cepas de vino crecen entre el paisaje característico de la región. Cabernet Sauvignon y Merlot son, entre otras, las cepas que se producen.

Artesanías

La fabricación de telares, bolsos, sacos, accesorios, artículos en cuero,  bisutería, velas, cerámicas, loza negra, cobijas, ruanas y postales, hacen parte de las artesanías que ofrece este municipio, para que propios y visitantes adquieran.
