In Chinácota, visitors find colonial architecture and traditional markets, while the department's capital, Cúcuta, offers urban landmarks like Ventura Plaza and regional culinary specialties such as chicharrones. Natural sites include the turquoise waters of Pozo Azul and various Andean waterfalls.
