With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Tunja, 25 miles away, has to offer. Tunja Plaza de Bolivar should be toward the top of your list here. Tunja Cathedral and Casa del Fundador Gonzalo Suarez Rendon are awesome attractions too. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Villa de Leyva, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Villa de Leyva Fossil Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Zoocriadero Ostrich Farm and La Periquera Ecological Park.)
