Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

When To Visit

Changed

Barichara sits in a warm, dry valley and stays hot year-round regardless of season, following Colombia's typical two-season pattern (a drier period roughly December-March, a wetter one roughly April-November) rather than four traditional seasons. Weekday visits, any time of year, avoid the crowds that fill the town on weekends, particularly long holiday weekends when Bogotá residents travel in large numbers.
