Don't forget to take a picture with the "I<3ague" word in front of Bolivar monument. Also there is a traditional Jeep where you can drink some alcoholic coffee's

Although the general convention is to be cautious wherever you go in Colombia (and that would appear to Ibague as well), the atmosphere around the Plaza de Bolivar was somewhat active and pleasant. There was a beautiful church, at which we briefly observed services. There were also some nice restaurants, coffee shops and stores around the park's perimter. We had ice cream and obleas at a small place with chairs outside. You'll have a few beggars and vendors, but overall nicely put together.
