Paisa
The Paisa or Paisas in "plural" are people who inhabit a region over the northwest Colombia in the Andes.

Although the expression "Paisa" is of popular use as apocope of "Paisano" (one from the same country; countryman).

Paisas are well known in Colombia for their kindness and welcoming aptitude to persons from other regions and visitors.
