thank you again[/quote]hey orientalexpress, thanks for the feedback; i definitely appreciate it!
i think you'll find your road trip through those areas to be very different from mainstream destinations in col. from tunja i definitely recommend stopping by villa del leyva. aside from its colonial past and remnants, the town boasts several museums, dinosaur-related stuff and outdoor activities nearby. barbosa, from what i saw riding by and from info. i inquired, doesn't have much to offer. san gil is a must. that's fo' sho'! don't forget to visit las golosas in bucaramanga. prices range from $30k. $35k for 20 minutes of fun. the selection is decent enough for the price. any cab driver will take you there and cab fares there aren't expensive at all. if you travel by day from b/manga to cucuta, you will ride through a high and cool place. el paramo de berlin. with some awesome views. pamplona is pretty chill too. cucuta has several casas with decent prices as well. when i passed through there en route to venezuela, i was told there's a casa with paisas only and there are other casas with chicas from all over the country. definitely worth a peek. good luck with your travels and if you need additional info. / tips. just pm me. cool?
