Barichara Adventure

Barichara

Colombia

A bit rustic and off the beaten path, Barichara is a small colonial village about four hours drive from Bogata. Perched on the edge of Chicamocha Canyon, it is charming, well preserved and largely undiscovered by tourists. Barichara is a perfect base for exploring not only the town and its strong artisan community, but also countless outdoor options in the nearby mountains and canyon including hiking, rafting, mountain biking, horseback riding, and visiting nearby coffee and tobacco farms.
