Manizales Travel Guide

Mrs. Moon

The city of Manizales is located in the mountains to the southwest of Medellfn. Long isolated by rugged mountains, Manizales has grown rapidly since highways were built to connect it with the outside world. The city is often cloudy and rainy, and earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common nearby. Roughly 30 percent of the nation's coffee is grown in the exceptionally fertile soils within a 100-mi. (1 60-km.) radius of Manizales.
