Deeper than the Grand Canyon, this natural spectacle offers dizzying views, a cable car that crosses it, and opportunities for extreme paragliding.
Cobblestone streets, rammed earth walls, and perfectly preserved colonial architecture. It is a haven of peace for artists and travelers.
Santander's food is for adventurous palates. Roasted kid goat, pepitoria, peeled corn arepas, and, for the brave, the famous 'hormigas culonas' (big-bottomed ants).
The quintessential dessert. Two huge wafer cookies filled with arequipe (dulce de leche), cheese, blackberry jam, cream, and almost any sweet topping you can imagine.
Iconic spots in Santander you cannot miss.
Things you won't find in a regular guidebook.
Distances in Santander take time due to winding mountain roads.
The weather in Bucaramanga is warmer, but in higher towns like Barichara it gets cool at night.
