What hotels do people stay at in this city? I like the El Centro area of Medellin and would like to stay some where similar to like a Hotel Nutibara.

Posts: 540Forgot to mention to not take the bus on the weekends which added 45 minutes to my trip. The pedal bicyclists jam up the highways. I swear there was 100 of them on the highway singles, doubles, and packs of them. I assume Medellin is not the only city with tons of bicyclists. Very hard for trailer trucks and buses to pass them when they act as if they own the road.
The bus stop in Manizales has a tram at the same location that goes to the center of town. It may be easier to get off the bus, take the tram to center of town (which happens to end near their huge shopping mall and touristy area), then get a taxi from there.

The easiest way is to fly.
But, Buses are cheap.

Is there a similar stream of shoppers and tourists there as in Med or it's more of a party / bar scene (like street between the back of the church and museum in Medellin)?
Does the action happen all day or mostly afternoons?
Well, just your opinion on how does it compare to Medellin el Centro would be appreciated, if you don't mind.

How easy is it to travel between these cities? I want to expand my exploration into regions that have a small Gringo presence.

Bucaramanga doesn't have much of a street scene at all from what I have seen the 2 times I have been there. Not sure about casas. Cucuta on the other hand has a thriving street scene. Ur gonna wanna stay at Hotel Mar on La Septima across the street from the bus station. If arriving by plane just tell the taxista to take u to Mar Hotel and if arriving by bus just walk across the street there by that overpass. It's a decent hotel 50k COP a day with a fan or 73k a day with AC (I recommend the AC room). From there u just walk about 3 blocks up the street to get to the action. Lots of street girls from Avenida septima and calle cuarta all the way down to where the park is and on both sides of the street as well as side streets. Also there are many bars where u can grab an Aguila light for 5k COP and theres girls inside the bars too. Going rate is 25k COP for a half hour session that's 20k for the girl and 5k for the pieza. If u like caldo de costilla there is also a hole in the wall restaurant with plastic red tables and chairs that has excellent caldo de costilla in the mornings (better even than in Bogota) and i believe it's like 6k for a big huge bowl and it comes with 2 arepas and coffee or limonada.

I don't mind what you think, but to me it was kind of exciting because I haven't seen any other places like this in Pereira or elsewhere in Colombia. If you know any of the others there, please let me know. And when I say 'summon the courage' I just meant in a new Colombian city for me, I'll be careful wondering into bars by myself in areas I don't know! Nothing to do with having the courage to chat to the hookers!

Posts: 484Pool bar in Pereira with escorts inside
When I was in Pereira earlier this year I came across this place (just down Carrera 8 from Parque El Lago), which just looked like an ordinary pool bar at first, except there were quite a few hot looking women walking into and sitting in it! At first I wasn't sure what was going on, but after I summoned the courage to go in, have a few beers and chatted to a couple I realised they were hookers. It's the only place I've come across in Pereira and even the whole of Colombia like that!
My question is are there other bars like this in Pereira? Or in the surrounding cities like Armenia and Manizales too? If you know of any others please let me know. Are they a typical thing in Colombia? I've never come across another one in 6 trips to Colombia, and I've been to many cities. Thanks for your advice!
