Workation in Barichara: the essentials
Stone-paved streets, whitewashed walls and red-tile roofs run to the edge of a cliff above the Suárez River canyon in Santander, at around 1,300 m. Barichara was named a national heritage town in 2010, and its architecture helped inspire the Disney film Encanto. Architects, writers and retirees outnumber party travellers, and an old stone path leads down to the hamlet of Guane. Nearby San Gil has rafting, paragliding and larger supermarkets. Monthly rentals are scarce among the boutique hotels, so arrange one early, and expect very little to happen after 9 pm. Palonegro airport at Bucaramanga is about 55 km away in a straight line, though the mountain road takes far longer.
