The town of Barichara seems to have been untouched by time. Founded in the 1700s, this once-thriving Spanish colonial town lies on the precipice of the Chicamocha Gorge. It once thrived as a vital trade hub between Bogota, the capital, and the Caribbean Sea, but as modern vehicles replaced horses, a new highway bypassed the terrain that embraced Barichara. Today, the town retains its colonial essence while being imbued with the enchantment of what Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez termed “magic realism.”
