Colombia - Manizales: What to do? (1 Viewer)

Piggybacking on this topic, I'm considering a trip to the Manizales area with several friends, eyeing early 2026.
What is the transportation situation like getting there, and once in the general vicinity? I know there are domestic flights from Bogota, public bus and I suppose renting a car and driving yourself. Thoughts on the ease and safety of each method?

If going with friends, either hiring a taxi for the day or arranging a car/driver for part/all of your trip become pretty economical. Buses won't be super useful for getting to the birding sites. Most people in Colombia use whatsapp and it is a good idea to get a sim card with data when you arrive (cheap and easy to do as they are available at many little corner stores/airport).
