Besides being one of the cities with many strengths in the health sector, it is also important to highlight the beauty of its mountains, the hospitality of its people, its more than 200 parks, and the warmth of its climate, which ranges from 20°C (69°F) to 27°C (81°F). These were determining factors for the city to adopt the recognition of "La Ciudad Bonita" (The Beautiful City).

Regarding air connectivity, Palonegro International Airport (BGA) is located about 20 kilometers (12 miles) away from downtown Bucaramanga and has direct connections to the U.S., Panama, and major cities in Colombia, making air travel an excellent option for visitors.
