Pueblito Boyacense is a purpose-built replica colonial village on the outskirts of Duitama, designed to preserve and display the different architectural traditions of Boyacá's municipalities. Each cluster of buildings represents a different town's style — the adobe walls, tile roofs, wooden balconies, and carved doorways that distinguish one Boyacá village from another. The effect is a kind of compressed architectural tour of the department.
The Pueblito is most interesting on weekends, when artisan markets and food vendors fill the streets with local cheeses, chicha (fermented corn drink), arepas boyacenses, and traditional crafts including ceramics and woven textiles. Traditional music and dance performances take place on holidays and during the region's many festivals.
It is explicitly a tourist attraction rather than a living community, but the handicraft market is genuine and the food is good. The Pueblito is particularly busy during Semana Mayor (Holy Week) and around national holidays, when day-trippers from Bogotá and Tunja fill the space.
