Colombia's capital of Bogotá and the popular colonial city of Barichara are 270 miles (350 km) apart.

Taking a direct flight to Bucaramanga is the most convenient option, but you'll have to hire a driver to take you the additional 82 miles (133 km) to Barichara.

You can add a trip to Villa de Leyva and a bike tour of the Suarez Canyon this 7-day itinerary through the Colombian highlands, or tack on a visit to the Chicamocha Canyon on this expanded 9-day tour.
