About Santander
Santander is a north-central Colombian department in the Andes mountains. It's characterized by river valleys and rugged terrain, including the craggy mountains of the Parque Nacional del Chicamocha. The park is known for its panoramic cable car across the Chichamocha River Canyon, plus a water park. The high-altitude town of Barichara is famed for its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture.
