I've just spent 6 months in the most depressingly cold snow covered (relevant) city on earth, and yes, it was 6 months, we're just barely showing signs of non-hell now. I barely survived, but I imagine that this "cold" part of Colombia has nothing on it. Like a walk in the park.

It´s just what i´m looking for, it doesn´t look too far from Medellin but i can imagine the bus journey would be interesting, did you stay in manizales and travel to parque los nevaods from there? The photo is Manizales at night

yes there are some places about a 10 minute walk from the bus station where i stayed for bout 15 or 18 mil a nite, i will get the names for you paul. its a nice city to stay in, very hilly, more than bogota....there are also some aguas termales you can visit after spending some time seeing the glacier and walking up to around 5200 i think i remember. my camera messed up after for a while, had to stay in cali for 4 days while he fixed it, things worked out well.

Becuase of it's diversity of ecosystems (micro climates,.etc). Colombia is among the most diverse places on the planet:

from: http://www.af-info.or.jp/eng/honor/essays/1997_2.html

"Subsequent analysis of other mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, plants and selected groups of insects led to the conclusion that 17 countries qualified for megadiversity status, with Brazil, Indonesia and Colombia topping the list, followed by Australia, Peru, Mexico, Madagascar, China and nine others".

"The findings in this book indicated that these 17 countries by themselves accounted for more than two-thirds of all life forms and for the vast majority of tropical rainforests, coral reefs and other priority systems"
