Pueblito Boyacense is a fun place to visit if you can’t make it to all the beautiful towns of Boyacá. It’s located in the city of Duitama. Each of the seven towns represented features architecture and designs typical of that town, with opportunities to eat, shop, and even stay overnight in a hotel.
Visiting
If you’re in the area, Pueblito Boyacense is worth a good hour of your time. It’s open daily from 9am to 9pm, and admission is COP$6,000 per person (as of July 2023).
Main Plaza
Pueblito Boyacense has a main plaza with a church. To visit the towns, you can walk to the left or right and instantly be transported to that town’s main plaza.
The Towns
The first town, to the right of the plaza, is Villa de Leyva. Not surprisingly, it has the largest plaza in Pueblito Boyacense.
Behind it is Tibasosa, which is known as the feijoa capital of Colombia.
Next is Tenza, which has relief figures of people, animals, and objects on the outer walls of its buildings.
Behind the main plaza to the right is El Cocuy, which is the gateway to the national park of the same name.
Behind the main plaza to the left is Sáchica.
To the left of the plaza is colorful Ráquira, the pottery capital of Colombia.
Finally, behind Ráquira is Monguí, which is famous for its handmade footballs.
Conclusion
Of course visiting the actual towns is much better than a small theme park, but its impossible to see them all on a short trip.
