11:00 a.m. Blue Ponds. Villa de Leyva's Blue Ponds are famous for their crystalline appearance given by the minerals and sulfur of the waters. They are not only attractive for their waters, but also for the desert landscape where they are found.

It is the Terracotta House, a brick-colored structure that the architect Octavio Mendoza cooked as potters when they produce pots and other decorative objects. This is a construction project that, according to its creator, "turns the land into habitable architecture."
