Visiting Barichara, San Gil and Curití you will get to know 3 of the emblematic towns of Santander. While Barichara attracts tourists for its perfectly preserved colonial architecture, San Gil is recognized as the tourist capital of the Department, standing out in extreme sports or better known as adventure tourism. During the tour of Barichara you can enjoy the calm of its streets and you will understand why people call it the most beautiful town in Colombia. When seeing different churches, chapels, sculptures, etc. it is clear why most of the inhabitants of this town are artists. At the edges of Barichara there is an incredible view of the Suárez River Canyon.
Curití, known as the “people of weavers” is one of the towns where we will find and learn the most beautiful products made of fique fiber. In this place stories are woven with natural fibers, living heritage of the Guanes Indians, who were the first to inhabit these lands.
