  Pereira, Colombia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The city of Pereira is the capital city of the Colombian department of Risaralda.
Much later, in 1816, the brothers José Francisco and Manuel Pereira sheltered in the zone after being defeated (as part of the patriot army that fought with Simón Bolivar for the freedom of Colombia) at the battle of Cachirí.
One of the most important attractions of this city is its city zoo, which is the largest in Colombia and one of the largest in South America, it is internationally recognized for leading investigations in the preservation of animal life.

 DAWN - Features; January 6, 2006
PEREIRA (Colombia): Armando Garces was reluctant to leave his mountain village even after right-wing militia members had gone door to door telling residents they had 48 hours to evacuate, or else.
Although Colombia has had a large displaced population for two decades, the numbers have accelerated in recent months, experts say, and a disproportionate number are, like Garces, Afro-Colombians.
Pereira has built three new hospitals and is erecting nearly 1,000 housing units to accommodate the displaced, but needs 4,000 more houses to deal with the overflow.

 Going To Pereira | Colombia Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
In Colombia everybody tells jokes about everybody else, about pastusos, pereiranas, rolos, paisas; everybody has a nickname for everybody else (some of them are not very flattering) but people don't take these things seriously.
Pereira stereotypes are well-known in Colombia and if you read Caracol boards there's some pretty ugly stuff about pereiranas that pop up all the time.
Well, I guess you have to be a person who knows Colombia to understand the jokes, not just one more spic living in the states who feels like the official representative of the Colombianos viviendo en el exterior.

PEREIRA, Colombia (CNN) -- From all over Colombia, prayers and messages went out Saturday to the city of Pereira, where a 12-hour vigil was held for the release of Juan Carlos Gaviria.
Colombia has the unhappy world record for kidnappings, but this particular kidnapping has drawn more attention than usual, shaking even Colombians who thought they were numbed to such events.
It is notorious not only because Juan Carlos has a famous brother, but because Colombians believe his fate is linked to that of Colombia's current and embattled leader, President Ernesto Samper.

 The Daily Journal - Colombian refugees reach 3 million
PEREIRA, Colombia (AP) — Armando Garcés was reluctant to leave his mountain village even after right-wing militia members had gone door to door telling residents they had 48 hours to evacuate, or else.
We are incapable,” said Pereira city manager Germán Darío Saldarriaga, whose town in the interior — about 120 miles northeast of Buenaventura and about 105 miles west of Bogotá — is struggling with 15,000 displaced residents, about half of them Afro-Colombian.
Haugaard and others fear that a law passed last summer outlining the terms of “reinsertion” of fighters into society will mean that most of the abandoned land, totaling 10 million acres, will simply remain in the hands of demobilized paramilitary fighters.
