Coffee Region (Eje Cafetero) Visitor Guide: Pereira, Armenia and Manizales
Colombia’s Coffee Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage region of green hills, coffee farms and small towns. Its three capital cities each have a Stoners Smoke Shop store. Here is how to get around, what to see and where to find us.
The three cities at a glance
Pereira (Risaralda)
The largest city of the region and its transport hub, with Matecaña International Airport (PEI), a lively centre around Avenida Circunvalar and quick trips to the Santa Rosa de Cabal hot springs. Our Pereira store is in the Invico sector, near Circunvalar.
Armenia (Quindío)
The gateway to Salento, the Cocora Valley and the coffee-farm towns of Filandia and Montenegro. El Edén Airport (AXM) is 30 minutes away. Our Armenia store is in Mall Jardín Bolívar, in the north of the city.
Manizales (Caldas)
A university city built on steep hills, the base for Los Nevados National Park and the Chinchiná coffee valleys, with a cable car and La Nubia Airport (MZL). Our Manizales store is in the Palermo neighborhood.
