Lured by the mention in our travel guide, there would be naked saints in a junk room in the “convent ecco homo”, we drove to the monastery located near villa de leyva. However, it was renovated to inconsequential boredom and we couldn´t find the junk room, even i had asked about the naked saints.

The nearby astronomical Observatory Zaquencipá was much more interesting. In the connected space museum was a display ot the “ratonautas”, a mouse that was shot in space by the colombians, models of stonehenge, tikal and all sorts of other astronomical observatories. The Roswell incident was also on display, as well as the digital message that was sent into space several years ago and the corresponding response that was trampled by aliens into a cornfield 26 years later. Corios also the self-made telescopes together with their mounts, a must see !!
