About Casa Miajara

In the northern reaches of Colombia, Barichara is a picturesque medley of cobblestones and white-washed walls, painted shutters and creeping bougainvillea. Not far from the pretty main plaza, Casa Miajara was built in harmony with the city's aesthetic, with a specific focus on using recycled materials and techniques typical of the region. Surrounded by beautiful flowering gardens, the Casa is a calming oasis where days are best spent soaking up the views of Barichara's magnificent cathedral and the Yariguies Mountains.

Insiders tip

There are some delightful vantage points from which to enjoy the views, so be sure to take the time to just soak up the atmosphere.

Something to think about

The rooms are quite minimalist, so don't expect high-tech amenities but rather a charming, simpler way of life.
