May 11, 2026, Centro histórico de Guane

The Historic Center of Guane is a small, protected neighborhood of Barichara, known for its colonial architecture and indigenous history. Parque Principal: The central village square forms the heart of the place. Calle 8 & Carrera 6: These streets frame the main square. The most important cultural institutions are located on Carrera 6. Iglesia de Santa Lucía: This historic church from the year 1600 is located directly on the main square. Museo Arqueológico y Paleontológico: Located diagonally opposite the church (also on Carrera 6), it displays fossils and artifacts of the Guane indigenous people.

The Camino Real is a historic hiking trail that connects the colonial village of Barichara with the smaller village of Guane in the Colombian department of Santander. The one-way distance is approximately 5.5 to 6 km. For the trek from Barichara to Guane, hikers typically take 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The hike is considered easy, as it leads almost exclusively downhill. The path consists of uneven, historic cobblestones that can be slippery when wet.

November 4, 2025, Catedral de Barichara

The Church of the Immaculate Conception in Barichara is one of the most recognizable symbols of this picturesque town in Santander. Built in 1838 with locally sourced stone, its façade changes color with the daylight, from golden yellow to reddish ochre. Inside, the main altar, covered in gold leaf, and its elegant arched columns are particularly noteworthy. Located across from the main square, it's an ideal starting point for exploring the colonial atmosphere that characterizes Barichara.
