    Colombia - Manizales: What to do?

    Do I need a guide for Los Nevados? I have contacted one of the guide but A) it is expense to hire a guide and a driver (maybe not all guides require a driver as well though?) B) isn’t it a bit weird to have a guide if a chunk of the day would be spent relaxing and enjoying the pools at Termales...

    Colombia - Manizales: What to do?

    Colombia - Manizales: What to do?

    Thanks I will have a proper look at all these suggestions. I am very tempted by Termalez del Ruiz because of the access to the pools which would be nice after long days out. All these hotels have currently no availability for next year. They seem to wait before releasing availabilities. Strange!

    Colombia - Manizales: What to do?

    Thanks that sounds great. I will probably end up doing what you suggested: one day at Rio blanco and one day for el bosque + termales del Ruiz + Nevados. Where you would recommend to stay? I wonder if staying at hotel thermales del Ruiz isn’t the best of all worlds? Or is it too far in your...

    Colombia - Manizales: What to do?

    Hi all, A few questions if you don't mind :) I am planning a trip for two people (myself included, Thibaut, Hi I am new around here) for 3 days in Manizales. The first day is chill: arriving, city and ecoparque. But what to do with the 2 following full days? We are keen birdwatchers...
