WELCOME TO CASA YAHRI
Set in the heart of Barichara, Casa Yahri is a charming four-suite boutique villa with spectacular views over the village and dramatic canyon landscapes.
Tucked into Barichara’s La Loma neighbourhood, Casa Yahri feels intimate and exclusive. Its four beautifully-designed suites each feature private terraces and luxurious touches like king-size beds, splash pools, and panoramic views.
This is a home base from which to soak up the rhythm of village life, surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the Chicamocha Canyon and the Colombian Andes. Here, guests are invited to live as locals, becoming part of the community rather than just passing through.
What we love about Casa Yahri
- Its privileged location in Barichara’s most desirable neighbourhood with sweeping village and canyon views.
- The intimate feel, with just four private suites, each with its own terrace and luxurious design touches.
- The Chicamocha Suite’s private splash pool and sundeck are perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
- Thoughtful, fully inclusive programs with private activities, transfers, and a bilingual host.
- Authentic colonial architecture, carefully preserved and paired with modern comforts.
- The feeling of not being a tourist, but a temporary “patiamarillo”, living the rhythms of Barichara.
What to do at Casa Yahri
Step into the heart of the Colombian Andes, where Casa Yahri curates personalised adventures for every pace and interest.
Explore the cobbled streets and colonial architecture of Barichara with a guided walking tour, or visit the nearby village of Guane, home to a fascinating archaeological and paleontological museum. Dive into local culture with artisanal workshops, from adobe construction to clay painting and weaving, or visit a traditional coffee farm to experience bean-to-cup production.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding landscapes are a playground: hike the Camino Real from Barichara to Guane, or venture further with treks through the Chicamocha Canyon, stopping at ghost towns and scenic viewpoints. Thrill-seekers can opt for paragliding over the canyon, waterfall rappelling, rafting on the Fonce River, or mountain biking down winding trails. For something slower, arrange a horseback ride with picnic lunch, or enjoy a cooking class followed by a meal, and unwind with a Tibetan massage or private yoga session back at Casa Yahri.
