Barichara
See all Barichara Photos
Barichara is the get-away of choice for better-heeled Colombian vacationers seeking to escape metropolitan hassles. This pueblo perches on a plateau overlooking the Río Suárez, 20 kilometers (14 miles) from San Gil, 118 kilometers (80 miles) from Bucaramanga and 307 kilometers (200 miles) from Bogotá. Its well-preserved colonial architecture, made of tapia pisada or rammed earth, earns Barichara a place on the national register of historical sites.
