Alcazares City Park offers amazing birding opportunities within Manizales city limits; impressive considering it is within city limits. Targets here include Red-headed barbet, Flame-rumped Tanager, and the endemic Bar-crested Antshrike. Other birds we migh encounter include Bay-breasted Tanager, Emerald Toucanet, Golden-olive woodpecker, Golden-faced Tyrannulet, Yellow-bellied Siskin and Streaked Saltator. Nearby is an excellent restaurant which serves the best Ajiaco in the region. Ajiaco is a typical Colombian soup made with potatoes and chicken and garnished with capers and cream…..deeeelicious.
