Termales La Portada de la Villa sits just off the road into Sáchica, at the entrance to Villa de Leyva, where mineral-rich water rises naturally from the ground and feeds a set of thermal pools. The draw here is simple: soak in warm water outdoors, then move to the relaxation lounge to cool down and reset before heading back in.
It's set up as a day-pass destination rather than a resort stay — walk-ins are welcome, and the site is built for families and couples looking for a few hours away from routine rather than an overnight retreat. The grounds are modest and functional, oriented around the pools themselves rather than a long menu of spa treatments.
Hours vary through the week: afternoons only from Monday through Thursday (15:00–20:00), a longer window on Friday and Sunday (10:00–20:00), and the latest closing on Saturday (10:00–22:00). The spa is closed on Wednesdays. Pricing falls in the moderate range for the region, making it a reasonable stop if you're already in or around Villa de Leyva and want a thermal soak without a major detour.
Given the location — close to one of Boyaca's most visited colonial towns — this works well as an add-on to a day trip rather than a planned half-day excursion on its own. Confirm current pricing and any seasonal hour changes directly with the spa before visiting.
