Places
Barichara viewpoint: the stone walkway above the Suárez river
It is the town balcony and it is free: stone benches, the canyon below and the mountains of the far side opposite.
Where it is
According to Wikipedia, the viewpoint runs about 600 m between the Jorge Delgado Sierra and Rafael Ortiz Prada parks. From the main square you walk there on cobbled streets.
What you see
Wikipedia sums it up as a landscape made of the Suárez river basin and the long Yariguíes range. It is the same view as Salto del Mico, but from a built walkway with benches.
Viewpoint or Salto del Mico
| Viewpoint | Salto del Mico | |
|---|---|---|
| Distance | Inside town | 1 km from the square |
| Ground | Built walkway with benches | Bare rock, no railing in places |
| Who for | Families, older travelers | Anyone without vertigo |
Ideally do both: the viewpoint in the morning and Salto del Mico at sunset. For the view from your room, Hotel Alto del Viento lists mountain view rooms. On the way down, stop at the cathedral and keep going with more plans.
