With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Bucaramanga, 35 miles away, has to offer. Cacique Shopping Mall, Panachi and Alfonso Lopez Stadium alone make the drive out worth it. Locals are also likely to point you toward Pamplona, 55 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Toto Villamizar Photography Museum. (But we’d also highly recommend Anzoategui House Museum and Museum of Modern Art Ramirez Villamizar.)
