Cali is nestled between mountain ranges, which allows for some impressive views. Wherever you are, mountains are always in sight.
Cali is only a cheap bus ride away from the Pacific coast. From the port city of Buenaventura, you can head out whale watching, or over to Juanchaco and Ladrilleros for some rustic beach vibes.
Cali loves salsa and it even has a style all its own. Don’t believe us? Try asking someone in any of Cali’s 125+ dance academies.
Colombia is known for its biodiversity and Cali is a great place to experience it. It’s the city of seven rivers, over 560 bird species, and plenty of green space for nature lovers.
