This morning we made it from Villa de Leyva to San Gil – a journey of approximately 175km, that technically takes 3.5 hours (we made it in well less than three hours) and one toilet break (we were given none).

Arrival in San Gil was in time for a short orientation walk and lunch in the food court of the local mall (ceviche anyone?). It was also here, where we reviewed and discussed our adventure for the following day.

With San Gil itself not offering too much, we decided to jump on a local bus, to get over to Barichara. This little town is well known for its well preserved colonial center and made a nice getaway for this afternoon.
