Cúcuta, Border city in Norte de Santander Department, Colombia
Located at an altitude of 320 meters in the Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes, Cúcuta stands as a vital trade center between Colombia and Venezuela.
The Congress of Cúcuta in 1821 marked the formation of Greater Colombia, uniting present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama into a single nation.
The city exhibits strong influences from both Colombian and Venezuelan traditions in its food, music, celebrations, and daily social interactions.
The Camilo Daza International Airport connects Cúcuta with major Colombian cities through regular flights, while buses link it to Bogotá and Bucaramanga.
The Free Trade Zone of Cúcuta facilitates international commerce with special tax regulations, making it a primary economic engine for the border region.
