WELCOME and BIENVENIDOS
The Juan Valdez Cafe is the Starbucks of Colombia. Of course, they claim they are the original Cafe coffee shop and Starbucks is the copycat.
A group of friends from school went to Manizales, Colombia for an art fair and International Fair.
Of course, Jesus was there as well!
There were some outdoor concerts, great food, and lots of artisan crafts.
We toured a Rum brewery and listened to the history of Ron Caldas. They had samples too! I wasn't really into it since everyone was drinking from the same set of unwashed glasses. Yuck! No thanks.
Jesus met some very flavorful folks!
Enjoying the concert.
Manizales is a great day trip in Colombia's Coffee Region. The city is designed oddly because it weaves up and down the mountains. If you are going to walk around for the day, make sure to pack very comfortable shoes. You will be getting a ton of exercise going up and down the city blocks.
When you arrive you should take the Cable up to the top. It has a great view and it is the cheapest way to get there. While you're riding up you can still see some of the destruction caused by the devastating landslide of 2011.
