Audio Guide of the House Museum of the Scribe Juan de Vargas

The House Museum of the Scribe Juan de Vargas serves as a tourist information point and is open to visitors from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. For group visits or if you have any questions, you can contact them at +57 8 7422967. We look forward to welcoming you to discover its history!

I have excellent news! Admission to the House Museum of the Scribe Juan de Vargas is completely free. It is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the colonial history of Tunja at no cost. No excuses not to visit!

To fully enjoy the atmosphere and contents of the museum, I recommend spending at least 45 minutes to an hour. That will give you enough time to appreciate every corner and the historical information this colonial house offers.

This museum is a living testimony to colonial Tunja, housing a valuable example of colonial architecture and once serving as the residence of the scribe Juan de Vargas. It represents a key legacy for understanding the life and customs of the period. Get ready for a journey back in time!

For a quieter experience with fewer crowds, I would suggest visiting the museum on weekday mornings. The weather in Tunja is generally pleasant throughout the year, but if you prefer to avoid occasional rain, the months from December to March are usually drier.

Because it is a restored colonial building, access for people with reduced mobility may be limited, as the original structure may include steps and narrow corridors in some areas. We recommend contacting the museum directly at +57 8 7422967 for specific accessibility information and to help plan your visit.

Tunja is full of gems! Very close to the museum, you can explore Bolívar Square, the Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral of Santiago of Tunja, and the House of Founder Gonzalo Suárez Rendón. Also, do not miss the Convent and Church of Santo Domingo, all within walking distance.

Of course. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes to move around the site. Although admission is free, if you like supporting culture, ask whether there is any way to contribute. Most importantly, take your time reading the information panels and immersing yourself in the history. A calm visit is a rewarding visit!
