Cúcuta, also known as San José de Cúcuta, is a city in Colombia. It is the capital of Norte de Santander, which is between Los Patios and the border with Venezuela.


The city was largely destroyed by an earthquake on 18 May 1875, but was soon rebuilt.


In 1939 Cúcuta had a population of 37,323 people.

Brief Observations on Colombia (1970 words)
Cucuta seemed very similar to nearby San Cristobal, in that both were relatively modern business-oriented cities.
Cucuta's central business district was larger than San Cristobal's, but had few high rises compared to San Cristobal.
Unlike nearby Venezuela, newspapers in Cucuta (I won't speculate on the rest of Colombia) are sold by vendors who place their wares on plastic sheets or wire racks on the sidewalk.
