Bucaramanga: A great place to live!
Well, what can I say about Bucaramanga?... everything!!. It is the place where I was born and I’m very happy to live in.
Bucaramanga combines a nice weather, (26 ºC average, 75 º F), great commercial facilities, and boast to have the most advance heart disease treatment Clinic in Latin America (Fundacion Cardivascular de Colombia).
Also has the most important research center for the Colombian oil industry (Instituto Colombiano del Petroleo ICP).
And it’s close to several types of landscapes. From here you can go to the East on the path to Cucuta, and in just an hour by car you are in the Páramo de Berlin (4° C), where you can spend a weekend in a cold wooden cabin drinking hot brandy next to a fireplace. But if you do not want get frozen that much, you can travel south to go to La Mesa de los Santos, with his all time spring weather (16 º C) only 25 minutes away. Not to mention the so-called Bucaramanga’s “second floor”, Ruitoque, where just 10 minutes from the city, you'll find a climate 3 or 4 degrees less than the one you have in the city, in an area that has become a major development for rural housing.
You might be thinking: "With so many changes of climate, this guy should catch a cold all the time, !!...". However, my point is to highlight the diversity of landscapes and regions nearby that can be enjoyed from Bucaramanga.
From here you can make a nice and safety trip by car to: By plane there is no more than two hours to any Colombian city ( no scales).

Bucaramanga is the capital of Santander province, at the east of the country and lies in the beautiful valley of the Río de Oro, or "River of Gold".
Enclosed by gold mines already established by local Indian tribes, the town was founded under a plateau (La Meseta).
As the gold in the nearby mines petered out, agriculture and other industries came to the fore. Prices have had a constant growth, and new commercial developments are still under construction.

It’s the kind of town, where you can still go to have lunch to your house and take a little nap after going back to work. Everything is nearby, so you don’t have to worry for long distances, or crowded traffic. Actually a fast public transport system ( just like TransMilenio in Bogotá) is under construction and this have altered the normal rhythm of the city. But once be finished, for sure it will be a great improvement to the City’s quality of life.
Its privilege location, surrounded by outstanding areas of forest and mountains makes it an obliged pass from the center of the country to the Caribbean coast.
Or I can go further south and in 45 minutes I’m at the Chicamocha Canyon (30º C) and stop by at the Panachi Park, where I can do some hiking or just enjoy the scenery and the marvelous view of the canyon; or continue the journey and in one hour reach the city of San Gil along the Fonce River, a perfect place for rafting and do some ecotourism in the beautiful surrounding towns.
