Can anyone suggest an english speaking driver or guide. I am in need of translation.
[QUOTE=Hardball1126]Can anyone suggest an english speaking driver or guide. I am in need of translation.[/QUOTE]Alvero is very honest and trustworthy most everyone who has used him has thanked me for recommending him. Always get him to give you a price upfront on everything, remember you can always say no. He also knows non-pro & pro girls for you. He is an English speaking taxi driver that I met while in Medellin, and has branched out. He has purchased a new much larger car (not a taxi) and is providing side trips outside of Medellin around Colombia for a very reasonable price. I talked to him yesterday and he asked me to spread the information that he is more than willing to take you on excursions to Manizales, Pereira, Armenia etc. to enhance your Colombian mongering experience. He still has his taxi that you can hire for the day or night for very cheap. Call him ahead of time tell him when you are going to arrive & he will be waiting for you at the airport to take you to your hotel or apartment. He charges 60.000cop
I have used him before and his services made my Colombian vacation much better, since I don't speak Spanish his help was invaluable and he really knows the area and lots of girls.
Here is his contact information:
This is Alvero's cell number from Medellin:
316-252-2882
From the U.S.:
011-57-316-252-2882
Tell him Scooby referred you.

I will be in town Aug 26 for about a week if anyone wants to get together. Higher end Hotel rec. would be great also.
No I don't think I will be hiring Alvaro ! C
That stayed at the Zaragoza (I think that is how it is pronounced). Anyway, he gave it pretty high marks.

Can anyone recommend a taxista FROM PEREIRA !
Hello,
Can anymone recommend a good hotel in Pereira? I will be there from 1. September on. I have to arrange with my colombian girlfriend a lot of documents for our marriage.
This is how it can go: Met her first time nearly 1 year ago and now we speak about to marry.
Thanks,
Oliver
I will be in Pereira from now until about Sept 3 if you want to look for a little action on the side before the big day with the future wife. Or if anyone else wants to meet up just leave me a PM.
Regarding hotels, I am just going to have the taxi driver take me around until I see something I like.

Do you happen to know if the apartments are on Calle 14 ? I may check out this option for the added privacy.
thanks.
Pereira and Manizales are well-documented in this section, yet there is little to nothing on Armenia. Does anyone have any info to offer? What's the casa scene? I'll need to find a chica to take with me to the Parque Nacional del Cafe.
