You guys deserve so many more subscribers, brilliant content.

[@DavidandSarah]

woah that ice coffee and baked goods are so cheap!! Colombia looks amazing.

[@JordanandEmily]

It's stunning! We've spent so much longer here than expected 😄

[@samandnick]

Woooow didn't even know these existed! Thanks for showing us! :) Just added some more places to our Colombia list!

[@JordanandEmily]

Omg yay!! You guys would love them - such great little towns ❤️

[@benburns5995]

Interesting video of Villa De Leyva and Barichara. Both places looked pretty similar in video and both seemed very quaint. Enjoyed seeing the cemetery in Barichara. The Tombstones were so unusual, especially the one with the Sewing Machine. Very creative and it gives a good remembrance to the life of the deceased.

[@hildamaine8319]

The people of Boyacá are very friendly, honest and because is so colonial is very charming.

[@JordanandEmily]

😊 that's very true!

[@DikWhite]

Two delightful towns you visited there. Do you feel safe travelling around Colombia? It sure looks peaceful enough.

[@JordanandEmily]

We have felt as safe here as we have anywhere else! There are, of course, 'dodgy' areas (as there is in any City/Country) But we don't tend to go out late at night and try to make smart decisions ☺️

Hello! 😊 👋

[@cero39b]

Great video! I am from Colombia, my now mom lives close to Villa de Leyva and I recently went there for the first time with my wife. We actually went to the same places you did! Next time check out Raquira, it is pretty close to Villa de Leyva and is known for handmade pottery. We brought back some really cool decorations.

[@JordanandEmily]

Oohh thanks for the tip! 😊

[@AnaLopez-id6dd]

I love these two towns !! Walking their streets is something marvelous

[@JordanandEmily]

agreed again! haha

[@livanoguerrero3385]

After five decades of living outside colombia, I decided to return to my native home town near villa de leyva, and I enjoy visiting the more than 150 towns of Boyaca and Santander Departments which offer a variety of panoramic views, picturesque environment, good food and serene atmosphere...

[@JordanandEmily]

Amazing!

[@hayleyrichardson9203]

That cemetery was very unique! Both towns look very cute but I think somehow Barichara was better because things didn't go to plan 😀

[@JordanandEmily]

😄 isn't that always the way!

[@franciscolobelo]

Great video guys! nice views.. excellent job. Thank you for visiting Colombia. Wish you a great time while here. Greetings from Chia, Colombia.

[@JordanandEmily]

Thank you!

[@meagan3366]

Loving this Colombian series! Do you usually eat out for all your meals or have a mix of eating out and buying basic food to cook/heat and eat at your accommodation? I find eating out day after day can be a bit tiring, especially when changing towns every few days.

[@JordanandEmily]

Yay! We are glad you are enjoying 🇨🇴❤️ We honestly go back and forth on eating out/cooking so much. Whenever we have too much of one we yearn for the other! Generally cost makes us cook a lot more, like in the States we tried to cook a alot but in Colombia we have eaten out for more meals ☺️

[@Mercurio2012]

If you are going to the Caribbean coast, try to get to Mompox: it can be just on the side of your way up.

[@JordanandEmily]

😔 I wish!!

[@sayuesther7578]

Great video guys thank you for visiting colombia.

[@JordanandEmily]

We loved it! it was our genuine pleasure!

[@jimmy999-z2j]

Great content What month was this?

[@JordanandEmily]

Thank you! I beliueve it was Late May or early June!

[@marianajimenez4203]

Hi guys, which place have you been in the mountains? before that trip to Leyva and Barichara.

[@JordanandEmily]

It was a town called Macheta, we stayed at an awesome Airbnb there!

[@Mercurio2012]

They are just a couple of Colombia's colonial towns, you should go to Mompox, a beautiful and historical town, Santa Fe de Antioquia, among many others.

[@JordanandEmily]

I wish we could have made it to mompox!! It looks gorgeous

Villa de Leyva ❤❤❤

[@JordanandEmily]

So good!!!

[@marionchanson5479]

Thank you for this great vlog. In the Autumn we'll be visiting these beautiful colonial towns Villa de Leyva, Mongui, Socorro, San Gil, Barichara. I cannot wait! We'll be travelling with our young children by car. Do you think that the area is safe enough to travel by car?

[@JordanandEmily]

I think it will be! There are a few rough roads around towns but all the main roads and people are great!

[@miguelcuellar7890]

I'm practicing my English with you, thank you.

[@JordanandEmily]

That's fantastic! 😊

Thanks! 😊

[@sandoval1977]

Spanish colonial towns are so beautiful. From southern united state to Argentina. 🕎✝️

[@JordanandEmily]

completely agree, absolutely gorgeous

[@kaybrisvegas1099]

Cobble stones are my nemesis 😂😂😂😂😂

[@JordanandEmily]

😄 we had to get used to them! The wheely bags are not a fan though!

[@kaybrisvegas1099]

@@JordanandEmily yes can understand as no choice there. I now call it mindfulness walking that way I don’t break a bone or embarrass myself by falling over and yes it has happened on those rotten paths in Berlin.😂😂😂😂😝😝😝😝

[@FastProProductions]

That potato is called "Creole Potato" or Papa Criolla it is the best tasting potato on Earth. Fact The Soup is Called Cha- angua Its a poached egg with Italian bread Cilantro milk/water soup and salt, I do not put cheese on mine. It's Delicious and the cilantro takes out all the pollution and metals in your body. Colombians put Cilantro in a lot of dishes.

[@JordanandEmily]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@FastProProductions]

Colombians put mozzarella cheese in their Hot chocolate I know it's sounds weird but it makes it fun to drink/eat. we are a long way from Michelin stars but we are trying😁@@JordanandEmily

[@samj5183]

Papas criollas when they're slightly fried with some drops of lemon, salt, pepper and ketchup, can't beat that

[@germantobon5498]

Could make your life easier and more comfortable renting a car here

[@JordanandEmily]

This is true haha, driving in bogota looked a bit scary so we opted for buses!

[@Robert-tc1qe]

How old are you?
