If you are standing in Cepitá it means that you are in the heart of Santander and, of course, of the Chicamocha Canyon. Perhaps because of this, or because the municipality is on the banks of the river, it has one of the warmest climates in the region with temperatures between 27 and 32 °C.

This makes diving into its refreshing natural pools or enjoying the beaches of the Chicamocha River some of the best things to do in Cepitá. So, if you are a good hiker, you can take the opportunity to visit them and, incidentally, enjoy a tour through a tropical dry forest in the bowels of the majestic canyon.

Cepitá is surrounded by large mountains, as if it were a great fort. Its streets are covered with stones from the river and its houses, all painted white and brown, retain the walls of tapia pisada with which they were built many years ago. In the center of the park you can admire a huge ceiba tree that becomes an oasis of shade and freshness where you can sit and admire this beautiful and quiet little town of Santander.

Aunque en cualquier municipio del Cañón del Chicamocha puedes disfrutar del delicioso cabrito, el mejor lugar para saborearlo a la brasa es, sin duda, Cepitá. Aquí también podrás probar chorizos, salchichón, longaniza, carne de hamburguesa y salchichas, ¡todos hechos con carne de cabro!! Algo realmente exclusivo de esta zona del país.

Dicen que parte del secreto culinario es que las cabras se alimentan de plantas de orégano que crecen silvestres en las montañas y que son las responsables de ese sabor único y especial. Tal vez por esa característica y por estar presente en todos los rincones del cañón, es que en 2017 la cabra criolla santandereana fue reconocida como raza pura regional.
