If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Sitting 35 miles away, Tunja is worth the drive. Tunja Plaza de Bolivar should be high up on your list here. Tunja Cathedral and Casa del Fundador Gonzalo Suarez Rendon are terrific attractions too. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Villa de Leyva, 40 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Villa de Leyva Fossil Museum. (But we’d also recommend Zoocriadero Ostrich Farm and La Periquera Ecological Park.)
