Small museo dedicated to national hero, is worth a visit. It is small and has a lovely garden. It would be nice if there was multi language information.

Small house and garden, providing a good insight into the revolution and the people involved, along with links to the present-day airforce. Worth a look.

Free museum. Good overview of who Antonio Narino was and his importance to Colombia. Not much here...it's small. You can see it all in under an hour.

I'd like to know a bit more about Antonio Narino. I do read Spanish but for those who don't the house/museum will be pointless. I love the garden and sitting outside was very poignant. I could imagine what it might have been like for him.

I'm not a museum person anymore. But if you are tired of viewing the gift shops this is a good break to learn about Antonio Narino and Colombian history. There is a nice back area to take pictures. Museum is free.

Nothing to write home about. But, if you are a history buff, then this could be interesting. The wall plaque with the human rights are very similar to the US constitution!

The museum is free and takes about 30-40 minutes. There is an English speaking guide if needed There are some good relics here and you take away the importance of his work for Colombia

Stopped into this museum for one of Colombia's early independence heroes. This museum is free and the staff are welcoming. Exhibits on the life of Narino. He died of a lung infection here before independence was achieved. Beautiful garden in the rear where we sat for 20 mins just listening to the birds and enjoying the weather. Be sure to see this on your visit to Villa de Leyva.

Free entrance! It's very interesting to learn about Colombian history. You must however have some knowledge of Spanish language, or bring a dictionairy like I did, good for practicing Spanish!

A beautiful quaint little town out side of Bogota. Great place to go and relax at the Duruelo Hotel. Thee are a few simple things to do in town, the view of the mountains, the foods, the night atmosphere is great for quiet relaxation and meeting your inner self. Little cool at night you may need to wear one of their famous ponchos and drink one of their "Carajillos".

This museum has a small but interesting and well chosen collection of artifacts from Nariño's time. Many of the objects relate to his personal life, rather than his political life, so they give you a glimpse of Nariño as a father and as a family member. The guide was also very knowledgeable.

A must visit museum for anyone interested in learning about the history of Colombia and Villa De Leyva. Our guide had an impressive passion for Antonio Narino that made us feel as if we were in that time period enjoying and suffering all of what Antonio Narino went through.
