I can' help with your question but I am keen to hear what people have to say on this post. I will be going to Manizales during my first visit to Colombia as my friend has much family here.

Cockeny is right. Chinchina,Solento,Armenia,etc. The whole area is amazing. Don't know Manizales but can imagine it's as nice as the other cities and towns in the area.

MMMMM...... The mountains are so beautiful, Manizales has amazing views but if you want to have summer party go to Barranquilla, Santa Marta or Cartagena, beaches, sun, beers, reggaee, clubes and everything a coastal city can offer you. Of course it depends on what you want 'cause if you prefer cold than hot so go to Manizales. Ok Good luck.........

shirly1981... I will be living in Cartagena or Barranquilla, so this will be a place for me to go to get a break. So for the things you speak of will be the norm, Manizales will be one of many breaks from the norm ;-)

Manizales being born there, i consider it one of the most beautiful places on earth. totaly agree with the rest, the scenary is amazing, great mountains and depending on where you come from, the weather is very nice, just cool enough to wear nice coats. the people are extremelly friendly and like to make sure that visitors always feel at home. Definetly a must see while in colombia. Enjoy it.

Manizales is an Amazing City with Amazing inhabitants. For being Colombia it is one of the safer cities. Go to Termales (hot springs) and Nevado del Ruiz (Volcano). Tour guides can be found in the city center in front of the Cathedral at 7 a.m. So you would have to spend the night before nearby. The woman are nice and beautiful and I find that people in the area are generally more fair skinned than most Italians I know and I live in New Jersey. It can get pretty Cold during the night and it is a very hilly city

Smile if you are a thinker!

Cali373 Great advice and thanks alot. I will definately keep this in mind when I travel there... would you say it is safer and more gringo-friendly than even cartagena? And I am sure you are coreect about the women- to be honest I have not found a place in south america yet that doesn't have a ridiculous amount of beautiful women. Pretty women is important, but so is education and loyalty, so I am more inclined to ask if the women there tend to be more loyal and educated than in places like cartagena? After all they have something like 7 or more universities in manizales- yes???

Thanks again,
