Historical site where our freedom was gained. In December is tradition to come here and look around the Christmas lights, although it doesn't change much from year to year, and the traffic jam can be a real pain. If you have been here for Christmas lights before, you won't miss much.

Beautiful historical site, nothing happening on a Thursday but very well maintained and presented

Because nothing says liberty like plastic dinosaurs, flamingos, & frogs. Honestly, in my opinion the brave hero’s who fought for liberty are now rolling in their graves to know what this historic battlefield turned into. Shame! Being a history buff and learning about this historic site my wife and I traveled here to pay our respects. However, we were extremely saddened to see what the locals have turned this amazing landmark into. We did not stay as we could not stomach the site.

If traveling to Colombia, you must visit this historical site, the heart of the Colombian Revolution lives here.

Awesome stop at this historical set. The place is big and beautiful, full of history. There is a gentleman who usually gets near the always lit torch and gives an explanation of the events that took place here. Highly recommend it.

Historic place where the battle that won Colombia's independence was fought. Very well preserved and maintained... better to visit on a week day to avoid the crowds. The small convenience store in site was nice and the attendant very helpful and knowledgeable... great place for a good photo opportunity.

This is spot where the colonial forces finally defeated the Spanish and Colombia with the surrounding countries gained their independence. A small monument but well maintained and worth a stop if only to appreciate the terrain in which the forces had to fight.

The worst customer service. The place although flashy is not good at all. The waitresses are too unfriendly and inattentive and besides that it is extremely expensive. Unbelievable to have to pay for four cups of chocolate and two bottles of water more than 50 dollars, besides waiting for an hour. The people at the next table complained and argued about the same thing. Unbelievable that they use a figure of Johnny Walker passing him off as a chocolate gentleman, they do not respect the reserved rights, a situation that will be reported to the whiskey brand. The site is overrated. Not recommended, one star is too much.

Just a trap for tourists. It is not a museum. It is just a store. Also they have two locations and tell you that the museum is at the other one , but there are no museum

Definitely designed for tourists to spend their money. It is a restaurant on one side and chocolate store/museum on the other side. The restaurant is focused on chocolate items and not a full service place. It is a novelty restaurant. Then you feel obligated to visit the chocolate store to spend more money. Luckily, the small chocolate museum is free if you provide the receipt from restaurant. The museum is cute and takes about 10 minutes to tour and take pictures. Not sure what the regular cost of the museum is but I would not pay it. Have not eaten the chocolate yet but I am sure it is delicious.

Is a great restaurant to eat or drink something of chocolate, many things very delicious. Is a very beautiful restaurant to go alone or with some people. All decor is about chocolate. I loved it. Nice restairant in a nice town.

I'd already been to the other store they have on town( 3 years ago before covid), so I knew that prices were absurdly high but I saw their "chocolate beer" so I decided to give it a try to see check what all the fuss was about. Sadly, again 18k cop for a pint of beer that is not that good. Beer has no bubbles so it like a shake up beer bottle with no gas. Also, beer is sweet, way too sweet. It's not a porter type beer roast but a added sweet beer. Not my type but if you're a sweet guy, this will remind you root beer.

Fantastic place in Villa de Leyva. Diferent to everythig else. Ask for the garden to seat and dinoempanadas of longaniza to start. Not cheap, but worth the price.

Museum is a big word, it's just a short exhibition, paying a small fee in chocolate from the shop is the only requirement to enter the exhibition. The choice of chocolates and specialties is great though! They also have a nice garden on the back if you want to eat there.

Beautiful place to visit replicas of Boyacá's towns. Recommend by Bogota tips

Was a beautiful place! An amazing connection with the nature. I will be back for sure!

I liked the old stuff they have

No pet friendly

Nice

(Translated by Google) It is a very pleasant walk to share with the family. A place where you connect with nature, fresh air. I loved it!!! It is advisable not to bring pets, for those who do not have the culture to pick up after their pets. You can do a short ecological walk. Although you can see the effort that the families who are in charge of the site make to maintain it and keep it clean; It is incredible to see how some people leave their waste, deteriorating the beautiful landscape and view that the lagoon offers. Thank you!!! (Original) Es un paseo muy agradable para compartir en familia. Un lugar donde te conectas con la naturaleza, aire puro. Me encantó!!!Es recomendable no llevar mascotas, por aquellos que no tienen la cultura para recoger los desechos de sus animalitos. Puedes hacer una pequeña caminata ecológica. Aunque se ve el esfuerzo que hacen las familias que se encargan del sitio de darle su mantenimiento y mantenerlo limpio; es increíble, ver como algunas personas dejan sus desechos, deteriorando el hermoso paisaje y la vista que ofrece la laguna. Gracias!!!

(Translated by Google) It's a recreation of a Boyacá village, each establishment with its own unique details. Additionally, there's a slightly physically demanding ecological trail, including a tunnel, that leads to a small, green lakeside. There's a small cafe in an old railroad car where you can relax or even have lunch. A great effort has been made to maintain this place on the lakeshore. I was pleasantly surprised. (Original) Es la recreación de un pueblo boyacense, cada establecimiento con detalles, bastante curioso, adicionalmente sendero ecológico un poco exigente físicamente, con un túnel inclusive, que conduce a una pequeña y verde rivera del lago. Hay una pequeña cafetería en un antiguo vagón de ferrocarril para metendar o inclusive almorzar. Se ha hecho un gran esfuerzo por mantener un lugar así a la orilla del lago. Quedé gratamente sorprendido.

Just the fact that they offer both Mexican and Peruvian food makes this place amazing. The chef is very friendly and willing to clarify all the options (as long as the place is not to busy). We tried Pisco Sour for the first time and found it to be quite tasty. They also give you some nachos with spicy sauces as a courtesy. The main courses are a bit pricey but worth it!

Not recommended, lame food, long time to be served and expensive

Nice people great food and allow dogs. The food was very good especially the fruit in milk drinks. I had raspberry and my wife had strawberry. We ordered too much food though. If you don't eat a lot split the plates. We should have just ordered the appetizers or just the main courses. They allowed us to have the dog which was a big help.

I’ll say the food was pretty good, the fajitas. Recommendation to the chef….light brine or marinate your beef, so it’s tenderized. Chicken, light brine. The beef was tough and no salt. That’s cooking 101!

Good food, fast service though a bit pricey.

(Translated by Google) An excellent option in Villa de Leyva. It has a wide variety of Mexican and Peruvian dishes including the famous chicha morada and the ironic Inka Cola! I recommend the classic ceviche, leche de tigre is excellent! Very tasty (Original) Una excelente opción en Villa de Leyva. Tiene una amplia variedad de platos mexicanos y peruanos incluyendo la famosa chicha morada y la irónica Inka Cola! Recomiendo el ceviche clásico la leche de tigre es excelente! Muy sabroso

(Translated by Google) Excellent place for lunch if you like Peruvian food with a Japanese influence. I have to say I really liked this place. Although it's a rather small restaurant, they really have a lot of flavor and portions. Their prices are good for the good food they offer, excellent service is very welcoming, they prepare your dishes quickly, and everything is delicious. Highly recommended. Visit it; it's on the second floor. (Original) Excelente lugar para almorzar si tú gusto es la comida peruana con esa influencia japonesa. Tengo que decir que me gusto mucho este lugar. Aunque es un restaurante un poco pequeño la verdad son grandes en sabor y sus porciones. Sus precios están bien para la buena comida que ofrecen excelente servicio muy acoger, son rápidos al preparar tus platos y todo esta buenísimo. Muy recomendable. Visítenlo queda en el segundo piso.

Good food, mute is delicious. Cozy place

On our way to Tunja from Bogotá, we stopped at El Costal Restaurante for a coffee. The place is pleasant, with good service and a cozy atmosphere—perfect for taking a break on the road and enjoying a quiet moment before continuing the trip.

The arepa boyacence are one of the best I've ever taste, I recomend to past and eat it

Just ok

Cozy and delicious food.

Pet friendly

(Translated by Google) Excellent option for breakfast. The food is very good, the place is carefully decorated. Very good music, and very good prices!!! The best option between Chocontá and Tunja. (Original) Excelente opción para a desayunar. Muy buena la comida, el sitio está cuidadosamente ambientado. Muy buena música, y los precios muy buenos!!! La mejor opción entre Chocontá y Tunja.
