THE CITY

Manizales is a picturesque city high in the Cordillera Central and lies between Medellin and Bogota. It is a small, fairly typical Colombian city, and is not a common international tourist destination. It enjoys a cool climate and is considered perhaps one of the safest cities in South America.



It is however, the most convenient access point for Colombia's largest national park, Parque de Los Nevados, site of one of the the nation's higher peaks, Nevado de Ruiz. Consequently it is a popular destination for Colombian tourism.

Manizales has numerous universities and other high level training institutions. It has a very youthful and vibrant character.

The cathedral in the central square has a tower with a sweeping view of the city that can be visited for a small fee. There are a number of quaint historical pueblos in the area to visit. One such pueblo is Salamina, a national historical site. All are within easy driving distance.

Accommodations range from deluxe to rustic. The food is the typical Paisa or local cuisine, and there are many other restaurants offering international cuisine. Manizales is located 110 mi/180 km west of Bogota, a 35 minute flight or seven hour drive.

ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR STEVE FOR HELPING ME WITH THE ISSUES OF MISCARRIAGE.
I had a miscarriage in 2013. We’d only been trying to get pregnant for a couple of months, and when I got that first positive pregnancy test, it felt a little bit like a whoops! Well, okay. One evening, I came home from a book reading and was bleeding. I quickly turned to all my pregnancy books, and to the internet, all of which told me that a little bleeding could be normal and fine, but the longer it went on, and the more pain I was in, what was happening became clear. The bleeding wasn’t stopping, and neither was the pain. Even though it was obvious enough what was going on, I refused to take any pain medication. Because you’re not supposed to take blood thinners when you’re pregnant. That was how I lost my first pregnancy. And in two others in the same year I had to look for solution, because our family Doctor could not help, he has given us a lot of prescription but non worked, I had to look for solution on line and saw the contact of Dr Steve I contacted him through the mail and made purchase for his product which is a permanent solution to Miscarriage. Now am having two kids and I promise to tell the whole world about him if he helps me out. You can contact him for solution on drsteve833@gmail.com for a good solution to miscarriage.
