Best of Northeast Colombia

Barichara
We consider it the most picturesque town in Colombia! Barichara is a delightful and tranquil destination characterized by its cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings. It's an ideal spot to relax, and it’s no surprise that Barichara translates to "place of rest."

Chicamocha Canyon
Chicamocha Canyon is one of the most spectacular natural places in Colombia. Explore the national park by taking a scenic cable car ride over the canyon, savoring mouthwatering local dishes, and cooling off at the waterpark.

Girón
Located just 15 minutes from Bucaramanga, Girón is a charming town featuring whitewashed houses and cobblestone streets. Spend a day there to get lost admiring the colonial architecture and escape from the bustle of the big city.

San Gil
When you visit Colombia's adventure capital, you'll can enjoy activities like white water rafting, rappelling, paragliding, rock climbing, and more. One of the top attractions in town is Parque El Gallineral, a charming island where you can stroll among towering native trees.

Bucaramanga
Colombia's "city of parks" features over 160 different city parks to enjoy.

Pamplona
Although it's somewhat off the beaten path, Pamplona boasts a pleasant cool climate and an impressive array of small local museums. The journey through the mountains from Bucaramanga is truly stunning.

Cascadas de
Juan Curí
Experience the Cascadas de Juan Curí by hiking just 20 minutes to reach a 180-meter tall waterfall, and take a refreshing swim in the plunge pool. For adventure seekers, there's an option to rappel down the falls.

Hike the Camino Real
to Guane
A relatively easy 9km hike from Barichara, the Camino Real takes you to the sleepy town of Guane. Admire the beautiful whitewashed buildings and colonial church before taking the bus (or hiking!) back to Barichara.

Pescaderito
Hike along a river to a series of natural swimming holes where you can cool off in the refreshing water. It's the perfect way to spend a fun-filled half day.
