Socorro, Santander

High score (8-10) · Your profile

Socorro is a historically significant town — it was the epicenter of the 1781 Comuneros rebellion against Spanish rule, one of the earliest independence movements in the Americas, and the first city in Colombia to declare independence. The colonial architecture and main plaza are impressive for the size of the town, and it functions as the commercial hub for the Comuneros province. But it's deeply conservative, strongly religious, and the social culture reflects the traditional Andean interior. History buffs will find it worth a few hours; everyone else will move on quickly.

Socorro was the epicenter of the 1781 Comuneros rebellion and one of Colombia's first cities to declare independence from Spain — impressive colonial architecture and a major plaza testify to that era. But as a social destination it's one of the more conservative and religiously traditional towns in the department, with limited infrastructure for visitors beyond the historic center. A few hours, then move on.
