Barichara and San Gil

Colonial Barichara is also known as ´the most beautiful town of Colombia´ and this is no exaggeration. The streets are covered in cobblestones and the houses are all white and green with lovely decorated wooden window frames.

 

The weather is year-round pleasant, making Barichara the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

 

However, its surroundings exist out of impressive mountains, canyons, and rivers so it is also the perfect spot for adventure seekers who love rafting, caving, and paragliding.

 

Explore the infinite possibilities Barichara has to offer. A place that unites architectural treasures from the colonial period with breathtaking landscapes in which rivers and canyons inspire adventures and extreme sports.
