Short History of Manizales

Manizales is a city that you should check the weather before visiting!
Manizales was founded by a small group of ranchers who selected a high mountain plateau as the site of their new city. The plateau was selected due to it's cool climate and corresponding lack of mosquitoes!
The ranch lands and coffee plantations that surround Manizales are at lower and warmer elevations.

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 the a short segment of the more modern steel tower system is also on display.

Nowadays Manizales is the main center for the production of Colombian coffee and is home to 6 colleges and universities. With 30,000 students, the new section of Manizales has the feel of an univeristy town. Think Berkeley in the Andes!

Like most Colombian cities, Manizalies is home to many fine churches and cathedrals.

Manizales is also located close to the volcano Nevado del Ruiz, which is clearly visiable from most of the city.

 

Cultural Events

The Manizales Fair (Feria de Manizales) is the second biggest celebration in Colombia, after the Barranquilla Carnival. The Fair has a very Spanish flavor and begins with Bullfights and with a typical Spanish (Manolas) parade. The International Coffee Beauty Pageant is also a main event of the Fair.

Like all Colombian Women, they are looking for a faithful man for a serious relationship.
