BUCARAMANGA CITY OF Parks...

HI I have not seen nothing posted on this city at all.. I will be in Locombia in a few weeks and after Bogota And Villavicencion And Tunja I will plan to go stay in Buca for awhile if I like it a lot I will try from mundo anuncio to get a cheap room to stay at. I here that the hotels too are cheap here by I think Parque Cntenario for like 5 bucks a night. I here the food and taxis are cheap here too.. Can someone also have a lowdown here on the clubs to go out and party in? That would be great info here too. OK People post as much as you can on Bucaramanga.

If you want to party - go to Medellin or stay in Bogota- the party scene isnt great here.
The prices for food & taxis are pretty much the same as anywhere else in Colombia.
People like to come here to get away from the bigger cities, do adventure sports, enjoy the city life whilst being next door to beautiful countryside, plus Bucara is well situated to travel to Venezuela, the coast, Bogota, Medellin...all within 6-10 hours by road.

Not sure what else you want to know...try the internet:

I don`t know the name of the area but it is near the Hotel Chicamocha. There are a bunch of different types of bars there.

Hey misterfinger, If you find Hotel Chicamocha just listen for the music and walk that way.I was there back in the summer and had a great time.
Have a great trip!

yep, not that much cheaper. rent is cheap though. don't know if I could live there, but I get a big smile on my face every time I go to bucaramanga. the weather is absolutely fantastic and it's got a great ambiance. in and of itself it's pretty boring unless you're there with friends or know/meet people.

Misterfinger, I can tell you for sure not to recommend you a hotel in the Centenario Park. Those are kind of cheap motels There is a project for urban renovation righ there but it gonna take some time. You can choose Chicamocha Hotel, (surroundings are very active at nighst); in downtown hotel Guane, Hotel Ciudad Bonita; in Cabecera also a very active area at nights, the Cabecera Plaza Hotel.

At least 2 of the only 5 bars listed on that website arent open anymore. One in refurbishment, one closed down.
Most of the links that say website - dont work! I havent heard of the other 3!

Just ask the locals when you arrive!

I have lived here 2 years & the 2 places I liked to go are the ones that are currently closed!

If you like salsa, go to the Hotel Chicamocha or Cali Son (now called 33).
