The Church of Pereira<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pereira is one of the three cities that make up the Coffee Triangle<\/a> in Antioquia, Colombia. Like neighbouring cities\u00a0Armenia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Manizales<\/a>, Pereira is surrounded by stunning, varied scenery and boasts incredible natural resources. The city is surrounded by the Otun an Consota Rivers and looming over the horizon are the snow-capped peaks of Los\u00a0Nevados National Natural Park.<\/p>\n

The surrounding region offers ample opportunities for hiking, horse-riding, wildlife spotting and much more. There are also opportunities to relax in the hot springs of Santa Rosa de Cabal, where you can spend the day\/evening enjoying the natural waters and, if you fancy it, a couple of beers too.<\/p>\n

Nearby are also plenty of coffee farms that you can visit. For more information on those, be sure to get in touch with the See Colombia Travel<\/a> team for some hot tips.<\/p>\n

One of Pereira’s main attractions is the variety of local and international cuisine on offer, a result of the city being the region’s most commercial developed hub. Again the population of Pereira, like that of Armenia and Manizales, are warm, generous people with an industrious attitude.<\/p>\n

The city’s major nightlife centers around the city’s main avenue: Avenida Simon Bolivar. A great club for a selection of salsa is Mango Biche, in the city’s Zona Rosa area. For a good selection of international food, try La Estancia. If you can travel a little outside the city, check El Mirador, which serves a great selection of Argentinian cuisine and boasts incredible views.<\/p>\n

To get to Pereira from Bogot\u00e1 takes roughly 9 hours and costs a little over $50,000. From the city you can visit Salento, Cocora Valley, and easily move on to Medell\u00edn.<\/p>\n
