• 🌍 Central bus terminal (Terminal o Central de Transporte de Cúcuta), Avenida 7. (updated Jun 2020)

There are many public and private transportation companies that offer bus services and cover almost all of the metropolitan area (Villa del Rosario, Los Patios and El Zulia). It's a cheap way (ticket costs around US$0.45, but it will cost more depending on the bus, the route and the day) to travel around Cúcuta. Buses may be overcrowded, lack air conditioning and could be traveling very fast to try to outdo those from the competing lines that covers the same route. Beware.

This is by far the best way to travel around if you don't mind spending a bit more for transportation. The cabs here may take you to anywhere you want. Expect to find a fleet of small but newer vehicles that are typically not more than 3–5 years old.

Driving in Cucuta can be a challenge, as it is very crowded. It can be exciting to watch the private cars, taxi and lots of motorcycles vie for the limited road space.

A ride on Cúcuta's modern Ciclo-Vía is a very exiting and healthy way to get to know the city and get closer to the people. There are rules that must be followed: helmet must be worn when riding, also a reflective vest must be worn. The bicycle must have reflective panels in the wheels and back.

In the Av. Libertadores there are ample green zones and platforms that allow their visitors to walk and to contemplate the own nature of the Pamplonita River; this proximity to the shore has allowed that the custom has named it “Malecon” becoming a site of recreation par excellence. It runs from the San Rafael bridge in the south of the city to Arnulfo Briceño Square, where there's a beautiful metallic sculpture called “Musical Mirror” as well as a skating track and children's park.
