Hello.

I would like to share with everybody the great time that

I had on my last vacations.
Were simply amazing! I had two weeks, so I decided to do
something special: go on a road trip to Bucaramanga with my
husband to visit my compadres.
Bucaramanga is a modern industrial city of about 500,000 and
the capital of the department of Santander. It’s out of the
way but a good place to stop, relax and enjoy another side of
my lovely country Colombia.
Not too many people have ever visited this town. Everyone
has heard of it, but few have gone which is maybe why I liked
it.
The city of Bucaramanga is a tad congested and not the most
walkable city in Colombia. Called ‘the city of parks’ but all of
the vegetation in the parks.
My favorite parks are Jardin Botanico Valezuelo, also known as
‘El Paraguitas’ – a large park in Floridablanca up the
mountain. The Rio Frio runs through it and it’s an oasis, a
quiet, shaded park where turtles, birds and sloths roam freely.
That day we woke up early and my husband drove to
Bucaramanga at five in the morning.
We drive around four hours we made a stop along the way to
have breakfast. We ate some sandwiches. Then we headed to
Bucaramanga, on the way to Bucaramanga we stopped in San
Alberto by the catholic church and took some pictures of
ourselves in the gardens.
