With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Pereira, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Parque Metropolitano del Café Waterpark, Hernan Ramirez Villegas Stadium and Boliz. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Manizales, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Recinto del Pensamiento. (But we’re also big fans of Bolivar Plaza and Palogrande Stadium.)
