This thematic village was constructed to give visitors a taste of Boyacá's different villages in one place, with each block representing one of seven towns in the department. Unlike other model towns, these houses are inhabited, and many residents sell crafts and meals to visitors. It's an interesting enough place, but it's debatable whether it's worth seeing a reproduction when you can stroll the streets of real colonial villages just a short bus ride away.
