Bucaramanga
Continuing North on the main highway to the coast is Bucaramanga, 273 kilometers (164 miles) from Tunja. The paved road is in good condition, with four toll booths and several military checkpoints. It is a major transportation hub between the nation’s capital and the coast or the Colombo-Venezuelan border at Cúcuta. Built amidst a much-eroded landscape, Bucaramanga’s hills are like crushed paper bag. This capital of Santander Department is one of Colombia’s largest cities, and is home to 10 universities.

Why go to Bucaramanga?
50%The city itself doesn't have much to offer (though it iss easy on the budget). The real good stuff is in the towns near it, like Floridablanca and Giron.
