Catedral
The Catedral is sometimes referred to as the Catedral Madre, as it was the first church built in the region. However, the original church was destroyed by fire, and the large building you see today was not completed until 1837. Until that year, Iglesia de Santa Bárbara did the honors as the cathedral. Once inside, have a look at the Last Supper in the right transept, and at an image of San Francisco de Borja with a skull in the transept opposite.

Buffalo Bill
During the day this vaguely cowboy themed restaurant pumps out grilled meat and fish. At night they push the tables aside and it turns into one of Santa Fe’s only discos. For day-trippers, consider its Día de Sol promotion – COP$35,000 gets you a main meal of your choice and all-day access to its large swimming pool.

Restaurante Portón del Parque
Occupying an elegant colonial house with high ceilings and a flowery courtyard, this restaurant is widely considered the best in town. The kitchen prepares top-quality traditional food, including ajiaco (local stew of Bogotá) and arequipe con leche (supersweet dessert of milk and sugar).

Iglesia de Santa Bárbara
Of the town’s four churches, the Iglesia de Santa Bárbara is the most interesting. Built by Jesuits in the second half of the 18th century, the church has a fine, baroque facade. The interior has an interesting, if time-worn, retable over the high altar.
