A city privileged by its geographic location, initially identified by the steep topography and the symbiosis between nature and construction, that have allowed it to be developed like a conventional city, and simultaneously, to use kindness of nature with their waters, fauna and flora. Manizales is called “the city of the opened doors” as a result of its human quality. Manizales was founded on October 12 of 1849 and its name comes from the stone peanut (gray color granite) which was very abundant in rivers and streams of this region. University city for excellence; host of the best fairs in America where the spirit of carnival alternates with the beautiful candidates of the International Coffee Contest and the art of bullfighting. |
