Then from the main square, continue uphill until Carrera 10 and turn left. There you will find a stone slab marking the start of a path to the village of Guane. The Camino Real was built by the Guane Indigenous people and afterwards it was used by the Spaniards. The Camino Real, as it is known today, dates back to 1867, when the German Geo Von Lengerke used the footprints of the natives and was built stone by stone. It did not use cement or other artificial glue to make it passable in winter times and to facilitate the flow of products between the different regions. The trail Barichara to Guane is well preserved and marked, therefore a guide is not needed. It takes around 2 hours (5 km approx.) to complete the trek and when you arrive to Guane you can take a public bus back to San Gil.
