Anyone out there live in Cucuta? What's the political climate? Still just hot and dirty??!!

I don't live in Cucuta, but stayed there some years ago. Cucuta is hot, but not that much this time. I bet could be better booking in a good hotel. I dont find so many but one: http://www.hotelcasinointernacional.com/
Try to see any Estelar S.A chain of hotels.
Even dirty and small, my advice : "Just enjoy Cucuta, Bob! what else could you do? Could be better than you imagine. Try informal wear and some formal.

It is VERY dangerous.
A while ago, a PBHer posted about his girlfriend who was mugged four times in a row while getting money at a cash machine.

"I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. A nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present."

Cucuta is pretty much an extension of venezuela. its economy depends more on them that Colombia!

Cucuta is suffering a double whammy of lots of IDPS and economic upheaval following changes in Venezuela. Lots more desperate people around, doing more and more desperate things.. it's really sad and definitely not a choice spot to visit at all.
