The verdict
Mixed · 58Commenters admire Villa de Leyva's colonial beauty and nature, but almost none describe living there long term, so the remote-work picture stays thin.
- colonial architecture and scenery
- hiking and nature
- quiet small-town feel
- budget-friendly trips
- food and local culture
- town has grown and become touristy
- fossil souvenir sales have disappeared
- little info on long-term living
- unclear costs for extended stays
- Visitors see it as a beautiful escape from Bogotá.
- Several commenters say the town feels much bigger than before.
- Long-term living details are scarce; content is mostly short trips.
- Weekend getaway appeal is clear; remote-work suitability is unproven.
- A part-time resident recommends the scenic panoramic road nearby.
