Chicamocha Canyon: Marvel at the undiscovered and timeless beauty of the Chicamocha Canyon, widely considered as one of the treasures of Colombia. This awe-inspiring natural formation is even deeper than the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA, and you have the chance to explore it from within, in the PANACHI National Park, from one of the longest cable car systems in the world. 

Barichara: This sleepy colonial town, described by Lonely Planet as “the kind of town that Hollywood filmmakers dream about”, is, without doubt, one of the prettiest destinations in our wonderful country. Here is where the phrase “slow tourism” comes into its own, where truly, the less you do, the more you experience. We will show you some of the town’s main attractions, such as the Cemetery, main square, Cathedral of Immaculate Conception and the Mirador de la Serranía de los Yariguíes (a lookout point), giving you a chance to appreciate the perfectly preserved architecture and the chilled atmosphere of this pretty little town.

Cathedral of Immaculate Conception in Barichara: This centuries-old cathedral is a must-see on a tour of Barichara; the bricks glow yellow in the setting sun, and the interior glows gold with intricate Catholic designs and altars. Its awe-inspiring architecture will leave you more in love than ever with our fave country. 

Serranía de los Yariguíes: The Yariguíes are the indigenous group of the region to whom this land belongs. The national park is incredible; full of river systems, waterfalls, and hiking. If you are looking for flora, fauna, and a chance to lose yourself amongst nature, what better way to do it than with Hi Santander. 

San Gil: We will then take you to San Gil, a small Andean city, recently becoming known as a Mecca for extreme sports enthusiasts. In San Gil there is so much to do, and in such beautiful surroundings, you will find yourself wanting to stay for longer.
