Crossing from the charming small town of Barichara to the even smaller and magical town of Guane is one of those activities you must do when in Santander. You will adventure through a path that has a perfect combination of cobblestoned trails, nature, amazing landscapes, warm and friendly people all along the way. And though the day will be a bit hot, we guarantee you it will all be worth it as there will not be a minute of boredom during this walk. Join us and live it on your own!

The Camino Real from Barichara to Guane is a path of 5,5 km and walking it can take from 2 to 3 hours. The hike has a low-medium level of difficulty and most of the route is on a wide cobblestone path so no one can miss this experience. This path was declared a national monument in 1977 and restored in 1988. It is a faithful reflection of the work of the Guane Indians who inhabited the area, since it was built with stone, so representative of this region.

Great views - best done early to beat the heat.

Our guide Uriel was fantastic. Because he took the time and effort to add a great deal of historical and native information about the region, it became more than just a walk. He came prepared with additional hiking poles for the steeper areas which was extremely helpful. We have used other Trip Avisor tour hikes & Uriel made it one of the best. Just a note on the trail conditions: the trip description on Trip Avisor webpage could be improved. There are some quite steep sections on the trail with large cobblestones that deserve to be noted for those walkers who have some challenges in such conditions. Hiking poles are advised. Some fantastic views. We highly recommend it.

Our driver Marcos and guide Uriel were EXCELLENT! The trail is beautiful and our guide provided the opportunity to learn about native life and traditions. Thank you Marcos for your excellent driving - those mountain roads are a challenge and Uriel- you accommodated us SO WELL and were SO encouraging! Best to start early and if doing hotel pick up- choose the 6:00am option as it gets VERY hot. Suggest bringing more water than you expect to need!
