Dear Reader
My name is Frank and I run a travel agency in Bogota, Colombia. Have fun while reading!

San Gil – the Tourism Capital in Santander– has become a must-visit destination for locals and foreign travelers alike. It is an epicenter for tourism in the department since it strategically connects with other touristy towns. Its highlight? Extreme sports. Thanks to its geographic conditions, visitors can enjoy activities such as rafting, bungee jumping, paragliding, rappel and canyoning, horse riding, and more.

If you plan to go to San Gil, take a look at the following hotels, the best in town, which I visited on a recent trip.
