What you can expect

Our experience starts in Barichara, and we'll head into the heritage trail from Barichara to Guane, where there's evidence that there was a sea millions of years ago. We'll look at the rocks and fossils that still exist in the landscape to understand how this unique geography emerged from the ocean floor, shaping the terrain we walk on today.
As we move forward, we'll talk about the memory of the ancient Guane indigenous people, their culture, and their traditions, whose vestiges remain in this sacred territory. All this, while we immerse ourselves in the tropical dry forest ecosystem, an environment of great biodiversity where flora and fauna have wonderfully adapted to the scarcity of water.
We'll have a brief immersion and exclusive stop at the home of Mrs. Janeth, a local artisan who lives by the roadside. She'll open the doors of her workshop to show us how she transforms banana stem fibre into pieces of art. You'll be able to interact with her, learn about her life storey, and receive a hand-woven handle.

Finally, we'll arrive at the village of Guane. We'll stroll through its cobbled streets and its main square, where you can breathe in the absolute calm and admire the intact colonial architecture. To round off the experience with total authenticity, we'll head back to Barichara on the local urban bus, sharing the journey with the locals and enjoying the scenery from the window.
