To Barichara

By the time we were done and reached the road outside to wait for the bus, it was almost 3 pm. It was extremely hot in the sun and for the next 30 min, no buses came. Finally around 3:25 pm, a mini bus came. It was packed with people, but we managed to squeeze us inside. The bus reached San Gil around 4 pm.
The plan had been to get off at the local bus terminal and then immediately catch the bus going towards the Barichara village, but the bus was going towards Bogota and dropped us outside the town. We had to walk about 3 kms to the local terminal. The bus to Barichara was just leaving the terminal when we reached there. We managed to catch it and reached Barichara around 4:45 pm.
Barichara is known as the prettiest town in Colombia. Its a compact little hillside town on a plateau with all whitewashed houses, cobbled streets and red-tiled roofs. A National Monument dating all the way back to the Spanish conquest, with some of the most perfectly preserved and beautiful architecture in the Americas.Read more
