Santander department capital at 959m elevation in the eastern Andes — known as "the city of parks" (more than 160 across the urban area). Cabecera del Llano (the modern commercial-and-dining anchor) and the Centro historic core are the walkable cores. Same Colombia DNV ($684/mo income, 2-year). The structural draws are temperate-spring climate year-round (18-25°C), genuinely sub-Medellín rents, and access to Chicamocha Canyon (the country's deepest, 90min north). Coworking density is thinner than Medellín or Bogotá but functional.
