The first one was built almost thirty years ago, and before the end of the 20th century, there were already seven of them, taking approximately five years each to acquire the hue they display today, thanks to the presence of selenium, sulfur, and other minerals in the gullies through which rainwater descends. Due to the persistence of tourists visiting Villa de Leyva, by the year 2000, the site was opened to the public and became one of the most visited. Covering an area of approximately 60 hectares, on foot or on horseback, tourists can delight in the beautiful spectacle offered by Pozos Azules. During the day, its multiple colors shine brightly, and at night, the landscape is complemented by the immensity of the sky.
