Barichara

Barichara is often called the prettiest town in Colombia, and walking its terracotta-roofed streets you understand why the entire settlement was declared a national heritage site. Perched above the Chicamocha Canyon in Santander, this is a place of stonemasons, ceramicists, and artists: where colonial architecture has barely changed in two centuries. Disney's animators drew on Barichara's streetscapes and warm palette when designing the world of Encanto, and the town's cobblestones, wooden balconies, and luminous Andean light are unmistakable in the film. At its heart sits Casa Yahri, an intimate four-suite villa by NAHBU where you live as a patiamarillo, a "yellowfoot," as locals are known, with private chef, bilingual guide, and immersion in the soul of the Andes.

We also reach San Gil and the Chicamocha canyon by cable car, arriving via Bucaramanga (BGA).
