Build a wall using an ancient technique
Tread Wall
The handwork that preserves ancestral traditions is at the heart of what we want to share with you in Barichara.
This experience begins with a walk through town, exploring its diverse architectural styles. Then, at the workshop, you’ll uncover the secret behind Barichara’s timeless beauty: the tapia pisada (tread wall) and bahareque techniques — ancient building methods still used today.
With your own hands, you’ll build a scale model using wood, mud, and water, just as locals have done for generations — connecting with the history, craftsmanship, and spirit of this remarkable place.
