    Take your time and check out the many overlooks into the canyon.

    Road is fairly maintained and there are a number of villages to find food and drink along the route.

    Great way to spend a half day in the country.

    This building is used for several purposes, among them it holds some musical events eventually, art events and similars. But also works as an administrative office for the government. If you need to pay for a stamp, you'll need to reach there.

    A pretty common weekend itinerary, I drove to chicamocha and then continued on to San Gil and Barichara. Chicamocha park has some fun rides, such as a big swing and zip line. The canyon is beautiful. I wish you could rent mountain bikes to descend to the river and return on the gondola.

    Note, the parque is about 1.5-2 hours South of Bucaramanga, depending on traffic and your willingness to pass slow trucks on a windy road.

    The stained-glass windows are impressive. The marble is also worth noting. There is no street parking, but there are many parking facilities. There is nothing much more to see around the church. Plan about a half hour for the visit.

    Driving by this bridge during the day is nice but at night it comes alive with spectacular colors always changing to make it a very nice place to stop for a short break to enjoy the views.

    I stayed nearby and walked the campus. Pretty area. Friendly people. It was a Sunday so the campus was quite.

    Astonish little chapel in the old down town. I couldn't believe my eyes. It looks like a pice of art in the middle of the city.
    I felt like traveling in time to the past. You must go there.

    I love Bucaramanga. My son and I only stayed the weekend , but we will return. Centro Commercial Cacique is really nice. They have a theater and Casino. We were waiting for a late flight back to Medellin and had our backpacks . The casino allowed us to lock them up in their lockers, leave to,see a movie and come back. Of course we gambled a little to pass the time. Additionally, there are two main restaurant/ party areas in Bucaramanga. . We will definitely visit again.

    Very peaceful place, lots of waterfalls, fountains and funny fish who follow people expecting to get some food.

    Located at the north of Bucaramanga, near Megamoll Shopping Center.

    I suggest to visit this place early evenings.

    One of the nicest cathedrals in Bucaramanga, probably the biggest. Nice architecture, it's maintained by the Jesuits community, it's located by the side of the San Pedro Claver School. There's a parking in the block. Best to visit by the sun hours to appreciate its architecture. Check service hours first.

    I make it a point to always stop in a check out a church should I be passing by and my walk around Bucaramanga and stepping in side this church today was no exception.
