Description

The Route Where I Was Born – Living Roots of Barichara Location: Barichara – Rural area Duration: 6 to 7 hours Type: Cultural walk – rural immersion – gastronomic experience 'The Route Where I Was Born' is a deeply emotional and sensory experience that invites visitors to walk, feel, and taste the roots of the territory. It begins in the heart of Barichara, one of the most beautiful towns in Colombia, with a walking tour through its cobblestone streets, artisan workshops, temples, and living stories that reveal the essence of its people. The tour continues along trails that connect the town center with the surrounding villages. Through a guided walk, visitors traverse rural landscapes, orchards, native trees, and farmhouses, while the hosts share stories of their childhood, inherited knowledge, and their relationship with the land. Upon arriving in the countryside, a traditional chiva bus picks up the group to continue the journey along colorful, music-filled country roads until reaching a farm where the gastronomic experience takes place. There, visitors are welcomed with hospitality and ancestral flavors: a lunch cooked over a wood-fired stove, with traditional recipes that evoke family memories and celebrate country cuisine. The experience culminates with time to rest, chat, share, and connect with the deep essence of rural life before returning to Barichara. Ideal for: those seeking to reconnect with the essentials, live an authentic human experience, and understand the cultural and emotional richness of the Barichara region.
