Top 10 Things to do in Pereira, Risaralda Department

July 27, 2021 Nobuko Falco

The vibrancy of Pereira is due in part to its large population of students, who roam the European-style streets in search of coffee, cheap eats or ways to blow off steam between exams. Explore the nature walks of El Cedral eco-park, then marvel at the exotic creatures you’ll find at both the Zoo Matecaña and the nightclubs of Avenida Simón Bolivar. Pereira is one of the three cities comprising Colombia’s “coffee triangle,” so a perfect cup is never too far away.

The hike to Nevado Santa Isabel is not long but it can be difficult for some people due to high elevation. The views are amazing. But be sure to bring warm clothes and drink a lot of water during the hike. The weather in this area can change rapidly. When I was hiking the weather went from warm and sunny to cold, cloudy, and rainy

Starting from El Cedral, in the outskirts of Pereira, you can enjoy a 12 h walk to the Otun Lake. You would have to sleep in El Jordan or other place (book in advance). It is better to get in advance a mule to bring your things

I like the places where i can get out all the problems of my mind and i think that "Consotá" is one of them. I can feel different things when I stay in this place. The amazing place makes me feel like Alice in wonderland, you can notice that when you enter through the big door and inmediately persist a fresh and pure air, all around there is a lot of nature; In that instant I feel like a new person. Before enter I feel bad, but inside the place my happiness rises. In that place we could found bigger pools with refresh water, my favorite is "La piscina de olas" this pool have the most shocking waves that I could see in my life. The water is so cool, soft and so clear like a crystal. There we can found a long and bigger slides and be there is so funny. Also, we can see the slushie stands, fruit salad and the cafeterias that smell delicious, it is an exquisite aroma that craves everyone who passed by, wanting to taste an abundant gourmet. Then, passing by "La granja de Noé", we can taste the richest candies and the softest arequipe. We can see several types of animals, when we see the pigs the smell is not very pleasant, but is very cute and happy fedding them. With all these natural superpowers that this place have, I can clear my mind and think much better about the things that were overwhelming me, because Consotá park can be transform my world.
