In Colombia, something extremely solid, well-built, and made to last. Originally referring to a traditional lime and stone masonry technique, the strongest construction method around. Calling something "calicanto" is the highest compliment for durability, whether you are talking about a house, a friendship, or a person's character.
“That friendship is built like stone, nothing can break it.”
“They built that house to last forever, solid as a rock.”

Chévere
Cool, awesome, great, one of the most recognizable Spanish slang words across Venezuela, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia. Chévere is pure Caribbean positivity: when something or someone is chévere, they've got the good vibes, no further explanation needed.
