Cúcuta metropolitan area, Metropolitan region near Venezuelan border in Norte de Santander, Colombia
The Metropolitan Area of Cúcuta encompasses six municipalities across 1119 square kilometers, with Villa del Rosario and Los Patios among its main urban centers.
Founded in 1733 as San José de Guasimales, the region gained prominence during the Congress of Cúcuta in 1821, which established fundamental laws for Gran Colombia.
