Tucked away in the rolling hills of Colombia, Barichara was once an important stop along a Spanish trade route connecting Bogotá and the Caribbean Sea.
As modern highway systems emerged, circumventing Barichara and the surrounding terrain, the town became isolated and seemingly frozen in time. Today, the nearest major airport is a four-hour drive from Barichara (fear not, there is a small commercial airport thirty minutes from town!). This inaccessibility has acted as a shield, preserving Barichara’s authenticity in a rapidly changing world.
