Manizales , located in the heart of the Colombian Andes, is a city known for its imposing mountain landscape, its coffee culture, and its colonial architecture full of history.
The free tour in Manizales offers a unique experience where the beauty of the region is combined with the kindness of its people.

Itinerary:
The tour begins at the Cable Tower , one of the most prominent architectural and tourist icons of the city, there we will learn about its history and we will also see the Cable Tower station and learn how, over the years, the Cable Tower Cable has had different uses (from being transportation to becoming a monument and cultural heritage)
We will also see some important structures in the cable area, which is currently one of the favorite places for Manizaleños and university students, because it has a lot of tourist and commercial importance (it has a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes and the best nightclubs).
From Cable we will take public transportation (it has a price of 2500 cop) to the Cyprus neighborhood where we can visit the best viewpoint in the city. This was where the famous poet Pablo Neruda created a special bond with Manizales, where he gave it the name of the sunset factory.
