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.

Responsible Travel
Barichara's popularity as a weekend getaway from Bogotá has grown quickly, and weekend crowds are now a real contrast to the town's quiet weekday pace -- visiting Monday through Thursday gives a genuinely different, quieter experience of the town than a Friday-to-Sunday visit.
Buying directly from the stoneworkers and guitar-makers whose workshops are scattered through town supports the specific artisan traditions that give Barichara much of its character, rather than routing that spending through unrelated retail. The Camino Real trail to Guane crosses agricultural land still worked by local families -- staying on the marked path and packing out any trash matters here as it would on any rural walking trail.
