Introduction to Manizales
Manizales is located at the top of a mountain in the Colombian Andes in the heart of the Colombian Coffee Region. Being located on a mountain top means that the weather can vary greatly, so, before packing for your visit to Manizales, it would be best to check the weather first!
Manizales is home to 30,000 students attending Manizales 6 colleges and universities. The newer section of Manizales has the feel of an university town. Think Berkeley in the Andes!
As you can see by the photos below, the original settlers built a cable car system to reach the mountain top quickly and easily. An original wooden tower is on display in the city central and a short segment of the more modern steel tower system is also on display.

Women of Manizales (Paisas)
Due to its strong Spanish heritage, the women of Manizales generally look Spanish or European. Manizales is off the beaten track and it receives very few American tourist. As a result you will find the Paisas (and the women from the surrounding cities) very open and interested in meeting foreign men.
Like all Colombian Women, they are looking for a faithful man for a serious relationship.
