Things to Do  

Museo Fotográfico

Museo Fotográfico, Pamplona

 MalenaN Says:  If you like old photos you should visit the Photography Museum. The walls are covered with hundreds of old photos. There is little explanations by the photos, but I think it is always interesting to see old photos to see the people and the surroundings. There are mainly... 

Casa de Mercado

 MalenaN Says:  In the corner of Carrera 5/Calle 6, just off the main plaza, is a big white building. It is Casa de Mercado, a covered market built in the 19th century. It is nice to walk around here for a while in the corridors with small shops selling clothes, shoes, fabrics and much...

Restaurants  

Restaurant Piroko

Restaurant Piroko, Pamplona

 MalenaN Says:  I had arrived to Pamplona just before lunch time so after a while I went to the plaza to look for a place to eat. I passed Restaurant Piroko and it seemed to be popular (which in most cases mean good food or good value for the money). The restaurant was full, but I found a...

 MalenaN Says:  Before you leave Venezuela you must pay the departure tax and get the exit stamp in your passport from the DIEX office in San Antonio (you don’t get it at the border). The office is situated on Carrera 9, between Calle 6 and 7. I arrived at the office at 6.50 in the morning... 

From Pamplona to San Gil

From Pamplona to San Gil, Pamplona

 MalenaN Says:  I left the hotel at 6.50 and walked to the bus terminal. As I arrived to the terminal I bought a water and a coffee. While I was doing this a driver came over and asked if I was going to Bucaramanga (where I had to change) because the bus was leaving now. 7.05 the bus left...
