Description
Are you ready to live an unforgettable experience that will connect you with the nature and culture of the Santander region?
The trekking tour along the historic Camino Real between Barichara and Cabrera offers you a unique connection with the territory and its legacy throughout time.
The tour begins in Barichara, a town famous for its beauty and tranquility, considered one of the most beautiful in Colombia. From here, we venture along the Camino Real, a cobblestone trail steeped in history, built by the Guane indigenous people and restored during the colonial era. As we progress, you will witness the majesty of the Santander landscape: green mountains stretching as far as the eye can see, crystal-clear waterfalls emerging from the rocks, and in the distance, the impressive Suárez River Canyon, a giant of stone and water that cuts across the horizon with its imposing presence.
During the journey, you will have the opportunity to experience the local culture firsthand. Through stories and legends passed down through generations, you will understand how the landscape has shaped the lives and customs of the inhabitants of this region. You will also appreciate the unique biodiversity that this road has to offer, from endemic plants to birds that fill the air with their songs, creating a natural symphony that accompanies every step.
The final destination of this first stage is Cabrera, a small magical town that seems to have stopped in time. Its cobbled streets, well-preserved colonial architecture, and peaceful central park will transport you to another era. Here, you will have time to stroll around, connect with the local community, and immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of the place, where the ancient and the natural intertwine in perfect harmony.
But the adventure doesn't end in Cabrera. After recharging your batteries, we'll head back to Barichara, this time enjoying new perspectives of the landscape and the opportunity to reflect on the experience. The return trail offers moments of tranquility and contemplation, where the connection with nature deepens and each step becomes an invitation to introspection.
This tour is more than a hike; it is an invitation to discover the heart of Santander through its people, its history, and its landscapes. Ideal for trekking enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking an authentic connection with the land.
