Bucaramanga - Colombias most underrated city.
Welcome to "La ciudad bonita"
Although Bucaramanga ranks among Colombia's largest cities, it remains relatively unknown on the international stage. Unlike Medellin or Cartagena, tourism isn't as prevalent here, despite the city's abundant offerings. Firstly, it boasts a captivating and secure environment adorned with numerous beautiful parks and lush tropical flora.
​
Moreover, Bucaramanga provides ample opportunities for breathtaking hikes offering stunning vistas, either within the city limits or nearby. Additionally, there's a plethora of activities and excursions to enjoy. Renowned for paragliding, the Chicamocha Canyon (the second largest canyon globally), and its charming historic center complete with a delightful pedestrian zone.
​
Bucaramanga serves as an ideal location for immersing oneself in Spanish language and culture, offering ample chances to interact with locals for an authentic experience. The warm-hearted "Bumangues" or "Santanderianos" are eager to share their traditions, music, dances, and cuisine. Welcome to the "ciudad bonita" (beautiful city), as Bucaramanga is affectionately known in Colombia.
