Tunja is the capital of the department of Boyacá in Colombia. It’s a university city with a pleasant atmosphere.
The sleepy town of Arcabuco is a pleasant place to stop and stretch your legs if you’re driving through the department of Boyacá. It’s located about 45 minutes from the town of Villa de Leyva past the Páramo de Iguaque and 40 minutes from the city of Tunja.
Valle de San José is a great place to stop if you’re heading between San Gil and the Cascadas de Juan Curí.
The Cascadas de Juan Curí are a series of waterfalls about 30 minutes south of San Gil.
