Although the location next to la Autopista in Cali may not be the best, I assure you that Manzana Verde serves some of the best fruit cocktails I’ve seen in the city – maybe even in the entire country. I’ve only been once, but I’m already a fan. The entire menu

Cali with kids·Culture·Plan to stay

My friends abroad think that living in Colombia is dirt-cheap. And to be fair, it can be. Especially if you live off rice and beans, rent /buy your house in estrato 1 or 2, use public transportation etc. But if you’re looking to upgrade, then you’re in for a surprise. I’m sure tourists,

If you don’t know what an Empanada is, well then you’re missing out. It’s a street food that you can find many places in Latin America. Made of corn dough wrapped around a mixture of meat, onions and potatoes and then fried, it makes for the perfect snack to wash down

Whether on rocks or walls, climbing is one of the ultimate tests of finger strength and a great exercise in general. Have you ever seen a fat climber? Neither have I, which suggests that it may be a great way to get in shape. But not only that – it is also

Boy the way Glen Miller played, songs that made the hit parade. Guys like us we had it made, those were the days. And you knew who you were then, girls were girls and men were men. Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again. Didn’t need no

After having several friends recommend Restaurante Pica to me, I finally went with my family on a Saturday for lunch. We arrived at around 2:00 p.m., which is prime time for lunch-eating Colombians on the weekend, but sadly the restaurant was completely empty. Looking at the menu, I quickly realized

On a warm day in Cali, there’s nothing better than jumping into a refreshing cold swimming pool. If your hotel or house does not have a pool and you’re not a member of one of Cali’s exclusive clubs like Club Campestre or Club Colombia, do not despair. Cali has a

Living in Colombia for an extended period time, I’m sure you will realize that certain things here are either unavailable, very cheap or VERY expensive and totally out of proportion with the income of the average Colombian. Try paying US$120 for a pair of Levi’s Jeans. Or how about $300 dollars

He hadn’t understood a word of what was said. Half-giggling I started translating for him.. Cow heart, cow udder, chicken intestines or
