5.00We had an amazing tour of Ráquira with Liliana and Joaquín, honestly couldn’t have asked for better guides. Liliana is incredibly knowledgeable about Boyacá, its history, culture, and traditions, and she explained everything in a way that was super engaging and easy to follow. Ráquira itself is an absolutely beautiful town, colourful , vibrant, full of art and character, and it is 100% not worth skipping. Walking through it with someone who really knows the place made such a difference and helped us appreciate it on a much deeper level. Liliana also took so many great photos for us (huge bonus), and Joaquín was wonderful as well, warm, welcoming, and added so much to the experience. The lunch was delicious, and everything felt well paced. Highly, highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Ráquira or anywhere in Boyacá. Absolute must-do!!
