Manizales is a beautiful city nestled in the vibrant mountains of the Colombian Coffee Region.

Manizales is built on a mountain, so it requires easy transportation from top to bottom.  The way this is accomplished is the Cable Car.  I love riding these things! They are relaxing and have great views.  My friends and I were thinking how cool it would be if at night they closed it for traveling, and only allowed you to sleep inside them.  It would be such a great way to spend the night.

I love touring old churches.  I think it's interesting to see the different styles and colors.  Especially, when they are all the same denomination. Here are some of the unique churches in Manizales:

| Gorgeous Stained-glass windows | 
 
|  | 
| Creepy birds |

| I would love to turn this into a hotel. | 
|  | 
| This could be my house. | 
|  | 
| I love the colors! | 
Not only does Manizales have great architecture, but they have cool art sculptures and beautiful views.

I love the fog in these pictures. They make it seem like the beginning of a very mysterious and creepy film.

The walk up the side of the mountain is amazing! It is a refreshing break from the obnoxious traffic and lack of public outdoor space of Pereira.  I will always love spending a day in Manizales.
