Private Tour - Zapatoca (Culture)

By Wolf Tours Colombia
Zapatoca is a beautiful and calm town not known by a lot of travelers. People from Bucaramanga go there to enjoy a weekend having relatively mild temperatures (approx. 21 °C/ 79 °F). In town you can enjoy a beautiful central park and try home-made wine from oranges and blackberries. Close to town you will visit the cave “Cueva del Nitro” where a specialized guide shows you parts of the cave that is several kilometers long. Zapatoca also has a lot of German history since the famous German immigrant Geo von Lengerke lived and died in the town. The road to Zapatoca is one of the highlights because it goes right through the stunning landscape of the Chicamocha Canyon. One of the viewpoints you will visit at the end of the day is the Mirador Los Guanes which is on top of the mountains from where you can see many parts of Santander such as parts of Bucaramanga´s metropolitan area, Barichara, El Socorro, the Chicamocha Canyon, the Suarez Canyon, etc.
