Trading Villa de Leyva Peace for Bogota Energy

Since before I left on this trip I was hearing about how amazing Villa de Leyva is. Mostly from Colombians but several travelers as well, so my expectations were likely way too high. Still, although Villa de Leyva is a delightful place to visit and definitely worth stopping by if it's on your way somewhere… I can't really see why it's got such raving reviews. 

Part of the problem for me is that I happened to arrive at the beginning of a 3-day public holiday and Villa de Leyva is a VERY popular destination for people with money to visit from Bogota. It's only about 3 hours away and if you're living is a congested city, I can see the appeal. If you're looking for a place to stroll peacefully with your significant other, it's also a lovely place to spend some time. But, if you're just some dude hiking around looking for interesting images to make, etc. there really isn't much there for you.
