Throughout Central America, we saw surprisingly many traces of Swiss immigrants. Starting with “la pequena Suiza” in Costa Rica, we spotted Swiss restaurants offering alpine food in Panama, Cartagena, and Bogotá. In Panama City the bernese bear is flying on top of a construction crane. We spot Toni yoghurt in the supermarkets, and Holcim factories in many towns. But it is in Calí, where we stay in a hotel that's not only run by a Swiss, but by the honorary consul himself. The Hotel, Pension Stein, is located in a gorgeous palazzo and the manager and Swiss consul, Mr. Frei, is very friendly and helpful. A great place to stay in Calí.
