Guane
Guane, ColombiaThe 5.5 km (3.4ml) Camino Real walking trail running between Barichara and Guane in the Santander region of Colombia, was originally built by the Guane Indians more than 600 yrs ago. Declared a National Monument in 1977, thousands of visitors every year now enjoy walking along the same stone path hand-built by the local indigenous before the arrival of the Spaniards.
You’ll enjoy a medium intensity walk along a 7 km (4.3ml) route created by the indigenous people for approximately 2 hours, taking the same steps as have a countless number of indigenous and travelers from all of the world before.

Guane
Guane, ColombiaAlthough the transit road was originally created by the local Guane Indians, it was later adapted and reformed in 1864 by the German engineer Geo Von Lengerke into the hiking trail you see today.
These roads contain a lot of history and are considered a natural treasure, as you are not only traveling through history but also through a mixture of both a tropical and humid dry forest. This combination allows you to observe the changes of vegetation, from cacti to large trees, which makes this a very special experience.
During your descent towards the town of Guane, you’ll also get to enjoy the wonderful landscape of the Cerrania de Los Yariquies, part of the network of the Colombian National Natural Parks.
Guane was one of the last indigenous reservations, where it was decided to protect approximately 800 indigenous people from more than 10 different tribes between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. During your tour, you’ll learn the history of the Guane indigenous people. 2 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView LocationMeeting and Pickup
