The best photos of Bucaramanga aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Chicamocha Canyon and cable car will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Mesa de los Santos for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
