Vetas is a high-altitude páramo mining municipality near the Berlín pass, one of the highest permanently inhabited points in Santander at over 3,400 meters. The town exists because of gold and silver mining — Mineros SA and other companies have contested the area while environmental groups fight to block extraction to protect the Bucaramanga watershed. Population is tiny, it's cold and remote, and the economy is tied entirely to mining. No visitor infrastructure whatsoever. Cold.
