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 near to several different types of landscapes. From here, I can go to the east one hour by car to the Paramo de Berlin ( 4º C) to spend a cold weekend in a wooden cabin drinking hot brandy next to a fireplace. But if you don’t want to freeze that much, La Mesa de los Santos and its all time spring weather (16 º C) is just 25 minutes away.
You might thing this guy is always catching a cold!!. But, what I mean is that you will find this kind of diversity close to you.
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 are also increasing, and new commercial developments are been build.
Residential areas with the higuest demand are: At the Meseta

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 to the south and in 45 minutes I’m at the Chicamocha Canyon (30º C) where I can do some hiking or just enjoy the landscape and the marvelous view; or just to keep on driving one more hour and I’m in the town of San Gil next to the Fonce River, a perfect place to do some rafting.
