Hi, newbie questions about Armenia... we've been living in Cali and then Sabaneta (Medellin) and are considering a move to Armenia. Can anyone comment, in general, about livability and then specifically about healthcare with EPS Sura? Does Sura have a hospital there? thanks!

Armenia is very good place to live.

SURA has affiliated hospitals all over Colombia. Including Armenia.

SURA IS THE BEST IN COLOMBIA.

I lived in Armenia for 6 months in the La Clarita barrio in the west of town. It's a nice town, at least the main downtown area with the long pedestrian-only area.

My suggestion - live in the north of the city. It is, supposedly, rainier than the south, and the rents are higher, but it is safer and is the area with the better neighborhoods. La Clarita is a fine middle-class neighborhood.

The reason I left Armenia had nothing to do with the city itself - I simply wanted to live in an area a little warmer and a little less wet. So, I moved to Cartago (not recommended), then to Roldanillo, where I have now been for about 9 months.

Oh, and in the north of Armenia is the Parque de la Vida. It's a nice place to visit often. You'll also find pretty much everything you need, the only missing store of note is Homecenter. For that you'll have to go to Pereira.
