The 5 Best Rooftop Terraces in Villa de Leyva

1. Las Buganvillas (Hotel Duruelo)

Villa de Leyva's oldest restaurant, with a terrace offering a spectacular view over the entire Saquencipá Valley. The perfect combination of gourmet criollo cuisine and scenery — ideal at sunset.

2. La Terraza Villa de Leyva

Highly recommended for its burgers and beautiful view, with a relaxed atmosphere that makes it a great choice for both lunch and dinner.

3. Cervecería HISCA

Beyond its craft beer selection, it features an art gallery on the second floor — a space with a unique atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or evening.

4. Ático

A rooftop restaurant with panoramic views of Villa de Leyva, serving contemporary dishes with international and local influences — perfect for a romantic dinner or a special evening.

5. Mirador El Santo (Sagrado Corazón de Jesús)

Not a restaurant terrace, but the best panoramic view in all of Villa de Leyva. The climb takes about 45 minutes on a fairly steep trail — bring good shoes and something to drink. Ideal if you want the best photo of the town from above.

Traveller tip

Most of these terraces are best visited right before sunset — the golden light over the mountains and the Saquencipá Valley makes for some of the best photos of your trip.
