Girardot is often mentioned as a great weekend getaway from Bogotá. It turned out to be one of the most run-down and disgusting places I’ve visited in Colombia.
Tequendama Falls (Salto del Tequendama) is not too far outside Bogotá. It’s a popular tourist attraction and an important part of Muisca mythology.
The hamlet of Morcá is the site of a huge church that attracts religious pilgrims from all over Colombia.
Monguí, one of Colombia’s Heritage Towns (Pueblos Patrimonio), is also one of the most beautiful in the country. If you want to avoid the crowds of Villa de Leyva and see a nice colonial town in Boyacá, this is a great option.
