Paso del Ángel
A ridge path only one or two meters wide between cliffs, overlooking deep valleys; the most thrilling viewpoint in the area
Paso del Ángel is a knife-edge ridge in the mountains north of Lake Villa de Leyva's town. Valleys several hundred meters deep drop away on both sides, and at its narrowest the path is only one or two meters wide. Walking along it feels like hanging in the air, with views over green canyons and distant villages. It is usually a 20–40 minute walk from the parking point, and it is often combined with the La Periquera waterfalls on an off-road or horseback day trip. The ridge has no railings, so it is not recommended for those with vertigo, for young children, or in strong wind or rain. A small entrance fee applies.
