Barichara: The luxury of silence

Colombia's prettiest town has hotels that are true peaceful retreats.

"There are places where luxury is not measured in stars, but in the thickness of the rammed earth walls and absolute tranquility."

Arriving in Barichara is a journey back in time. Its yellow stone streets and perfect white facades house some of the most refined boutique hotels in the country. You don't come here to party; you come to read, drink good coffee, walk slowly, and sleep in colonial mansions that have been restored with exquisite taste. We selected our three absolute favorites to disconnect from the world.
