About this tour
We will pick you up at your accommodation located within the San Gil metropolitan area to begin our exciting journey. Our professional guide will welcome you and give you a brief account of the day's itinerary.
At around 9 AM, we will begin our journey to Barichara, a town with a rich history and charming colonial architecture. As we travel, our guide will share fascinating details about the region and its surroundings.
Barichara was declared a National Monument of Colombia in 1978, thanks to its outstanding colonial architecture and its historical importance as one of the most representative towns of the colonial era in the country. Upon arrival, we will immerse ourselves in its charm. We visit the imposing Santa Bárbara Church, built in the 18th century, and the Barichara Viewpoint, from where you can admire the impressive views of the Chicamocha Canyon and the surrounding fields.
You will have time to take the best panoramic views of the Chicamocha Canyon, marvel at its immensity and enjoy this privileged observation point.
Around noon we will head towards Guane, the oldest town in Santander. Founded in the 16th century by the indigenous Guane community that inhabited the region before the arrival of the Spanish, Guane preserves archaeological remains that testify to its antiquity and historical importance.
We explore the cobblestone streets of the town, learn about its culture and delve into its rich history by visiting the Archaeological and Paleontological Museum, which houses a unique collection of fossils and pre-Columbian artifacts.
We enjoy a delicious lunch in a traditional restaurant in Guane, where we taste typical dishes of the region, such as pepitoria santandereana or mute santandereano, while our guide shares stories and anecdotes about the local cuisine and culture.
After lunch, we will delight in a Sabajón tasting, a typical regional drink made from brandy, milk, eggs, and sugar. While we enjoy this delicacy, our guide reveals secrets about its origin and tradition in the region.
With our hearts full of experiences and memories, we say goodbye to Barichara and Guane to begin our return to San Gil around 5 PM.
