When you think of Colombia’s most beautiful white villages you quickly think of Barichara, Villa de Leyva and Santa Fe de Antioquia. But there is so much more. Namely, off the beaten path in Colombia. Cucunub\u00e1 is known as the most beautiful white village in Cundinamarca, and rightly so. Although I am equally fond of Guatavita<\/strong><\/a>, this too is an undiscovered white gem more than worth exploring. So today a mini-guide to Cucunub\u00e1. For the traveler who would like to see the real Colombia rather than just the highlights. And if you need a touch of Dutch and the most delicious Greek yogurt in South America, this is the place to be. Curious?<\/p>\n

Cucunub\u00e1: the village of Greek yogurt<\/h2>\n
\n

Those seeking the best Greek yogurt in the Americas must be in Cucunub\u00e1. Or at least, that’s what people say. The company Conylac produces and preserves this yogurt and the village makes grateful use of it. No matter how small, everywhere they sell the most delicious Greek yogurt desserts. Even if you miss the Netherlands, Cucunub\u00e1 is a must-see in Colombia, but more on that later. And all in this small village in Cundinamarca, Ubat\u00e9 region. Located at an altitude of 2590 meters, Cucunub\u00e1 has only 7,500 inhabitants. The village was founded in the year 1600 and is tucked away in a valley away from major roads. Cucunub\u00e1 breathes history and, in my opinion, is among the most beautiful and fun white villages in the country.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
