In colombia: what's a paisa? are they different from other colombians?


Travel Info
is there any history behind the term "paisa" or "paisano"?

Travel Tips
No, they are not different from colombians. Paisa means your from Pereira or from the countryside. Its like in New York where some people call people from the bronx Ghetto. Source(s): IM COLOMBIAN!!!!

Other Travel Tips
im paisa. and paisa means your from medellin, colombia.
stereotype: regionalist/good looking, party hard, outgoing, bright

Paisano simply means peasant. It is the term the city folks would call those from the countryside or rural and provincial part of the country. And it doesn't necesssarily referrred to Colombians. I suppose all the Andean nations too refer to the same context.
