Barichara & Guane day trip

WhereBarichara, one of Colombia's best-loved colonial towns, and Guane at the end of a historic stone road — both an easy trip from San Gil.

When your legs want a day off from adrenaline, go slow in Barichara: cobbled streets, terracotta roofs, sandstone churches and long views over the valley.

The classic add-on is walking the Camino Real, a historic stone road, down to Guane. Colombia's tourism board highlights Guane's Museo Paleontológico and its fossil collection. Ask the team about getting there and back — they'll know the current transport.
