Barichara, Rivers, Canyons, and Living Houses

Connect with your inner self and the territory

This is a slow journey, where you will experience the creative feminine energy of Mother Earth. Connect and heal with the mountains of Santander and the people who inhabit them. This is a space of gratitude for life and the fortune of being able to slow down from the pace you have in your day-to-day life.

Visit Bucaramanga and the ‘most beautiful little town in Colombia’; Barichara, where people live in living houses, time moves slower, the energy is incredible, and their traditions, art, culture, and architecture are preserved and blend with the incredible landscapes that surround it: the Grand Canyon of Chicamocha (deeper than the Colorado Canyon in the United States), the Suarez Canyon, and the beautiful Serranía de los Yariguies.
