Ragonvalia () is a Colombian municipality and town located in the department of North Santander.

== History == The municipality was founded in 1860 thanks to migration from the neighbouring towns of Chinácota, el Chopo (today known as Pamplonita) and Villa del Rosario that emigrated to the limits of the Táchira River (the river that divides Colombia and Venezuela). They traversed the mountain range because of the civil war of 1860–1862. Thus the first camps were established in the valley consisting of the streams Paso Antiguo and La Hormadera.
