Sips & Strolls
( Local Spots & Experiences )
We love this town — and we love supporting the small businesses that make it special. Here are a few of our go-tos:
-
Panoramic views of the mountains paired with an espresso that could win awards. Perfect for a mid-morning pause.
Mention you’re staying here — they might have a little something for you!
-
Old-school Colombian bakery with melt-in-your-mouth milhojas and rich café con leche.
-
Stroll this colorful street lined with tiny coffee bars, each with its own signature brew method.
-
Grab a cup from one of the mobile carts (look for the barista with the straw hat) and people-watch by the cathedral.
-
Spend the morning at Hacienda Venecia, learning the craft from bean to cup and tasting single-origin roasts right at the source.
-
For a unique view, hop the Manizales cable cars with a to-go latte — the city sprawls below, framed by coffee hills.
Getting Around
On Foot. Walking reveals the best little cafés and murals.
Cable Cars. Locals use them as public transport. Quick, cheap, and scenic.
Buses. Frequent and budget-friendly, they connect you to nearby towns and coffee farms.
Taxis / Apps. Uber isn’t big here, but local taxis are safe and inexpensive.
Insider Tips
Brew Like a Local
Morning Ritual. Order a café tinto (black coffee) at a local café.
Coffee Lingo. Want to sound like a pro? Ask for “suave” (smooth) if you like lighter coffee or “fuerte” (strong) if you need that double-shot energy.
Cultural Note. Locals love conversation with their coffee. Don’t rush — take your time and soak in the moment.
