A beautifully located city with a buzzing nightlife, it’s one of Colombia’s most exciting cities to visit and, yet, remains delightfully off-the-beaten track. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Manizales is the capital of the Caldas department and, along with Armenia and Pereira, forms what is known as […]

The Colombian dictionary is a colourful one, and one of the pleasures of staying here is trying to learn the intricacies of their slang – the way the formal Spanish used is interwoven with strangely ‘creative’ street talk.
