Santander Local Expert: Find Things To Do in Santander

The hills above Bucaramanga in Colombia have near-perfect conditions for paragliding, making this a great place to take a tandem flight or to learn to paraglide solo. You can learn to fly solo in ten days and it is far cheaper than you would pay in Europe - the views are incredible & with Colombian tourism only just building momentum there are only a handful of other tourists doing it.

Another view from Hotel Kimbala. I'm telling you...Colombia is gorgeous!
