Fundacion San Lorenzo De Barichara

Reviewed By santiagoaA444WA - Barichara, Colombia

This is a must see on Barichara. Brave women working their craft, the highest quality paper ever. In this place you can see the whole process and how these women turn natural fibers into paper. They also design and make paper jewelry, note books and many other things. They are organized in a Not for Profit Foundation that also works with children from the Barichara region to teach them skills on paper making among other. Great work, high social impact and environmentally efficient methods. Not to miss.

Cascada de Juan Curi

Reviewed By 357andresh - Bogota, Colombia

Among all the river places, this is the most organized. Good parking, no loud music, no garbage, great. This very high waterfall is actually very beautiful (water is cold “as hell”) and the rappel experience was safe and professional. Recommended.

Camino Real

Reviewed By maristelagm

Camino real is a great hike from Barichara to Guane, 5.1 miles, mostly down, clean, safe, well marked. About half an hour before the end there is a house where cold drinks are sold, just when you most need them! Views from the valley are great. Once in Guane, you can take the bus back to Barichara.The town is simple with a Church and a garden square. Take water, a hat and sunscreen for the hike.

Capilla de Santa Barbara

Reviewed By WorldTvlerParker_CO

I was immediately drawn to this small chapel upon seeing it ‘up the road’. ..and it didn’t disappoint! The floor of the chapel is actually slanted and the pews built to accommodate it. Great photo op from inside looking out.....and the history written on the wall inside...in Spanish.

Cementerio  Barichara

Reviewed By 712kerim - Vancouver, Canada

Seriously...the Barichara cemetery is a must visit while you are in Barichara. All of the headstones are beautifully carved by master carvers. It is absolutely serene early in the morning. Recommend visiting in the early morning or late afternoon for the best light.
