10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Cali That You Shouldn't Miss

January 13, 2022 Layne Dawes

The site of the 2013 World Games, Cali is the sporting epicenter of Colombia. Pristine golf courses and countless opportunities for adventure sports in local parks, mountains and deserts are a big draw. Cultural attractions in Cali reflect the area’s rich indigenous history and European influence. Visit an archaeological park to experience tombs, ruins and cave paintings, or celebrate with the locals at a cultural festival. Show off your salsa in a lively nightclub, then spend the next morning recovering with an aromatic cup of that famous Colombian coffee.

As a family of four (my husband and our two adult daughters) we visited this exhibition in December 2017 and were very impressed. It's an excellent and vast collection of various means of transportation worth spending an afternoon or even a day to look at it closely. We are very grateful to Mr. Jose Guillermo Pardo for his passionate and detailed tour and historical knowledge. It is this type of exhibits that make me very proud of my hometown, Cali. Keep up the excellent work and I hope the city of Cali can provide additional funds to expand the exhibition to fit more airplanes and trains.

I loved my time with SalsaPura. I took classes with Dalia and Juan Estaban, and they were AMAZING teachers. Without a doubt, the best private instructors I've had in the Colombia. In addition to teaching the moves, Dalia is very strict on the form, which helped a lot. The group classes are high energy and a lot of fun, and definitely a great way to meet folks that you'll probably see at the clubs at night. I would recommend SalsaPura to anybody going to Cali! Also, Tatiana is the best :)

The MUSA houses the largest and most diverse collection of pre-Columbian ceramic pieces in Colombia, which are exhibited at its venues in Bogotá and Cali. The museum's collection shows not only the aesthetic variety of pre-Columbian peoples, but can also serve as a window to research their sophisticated ways of understanding and explaining life, death and the world. Today, we hold thirteen thousand objects representing the main cultures that inhabited the country: Tairona, Muisca, Guane, Quimbaya, Calima, Nariño, Sinú, Tumaco, San Agustín, Tierradentro, among others.

Fascinating good value museum. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cali as it holds some interesting and well displayed pre-Columbia’s artefacts. There are good English translations as well. Housed in a beautiful and well-kept Colonial building with a lovely garden courtyard with hummingbirds. Just lovely.

Delirio

Delirio, the best salsa show made in Cali for Colombia and the rest of the world, bases its performance on Cali's popular culture for everyone to experience. In these years we have presented, with our successful equation: Salsa show, circus, orchestra and audience, eleven performances in unique and unforgettable scenes, product of a rigorous collective work of the artistic collective and produced by the Delirio Foundation.

This show changes periodically so while every performance is unique, the whole performance is renewed every so often (don't remember whether it was monthly or every trimester). That said, this was my experience in February 2019. As soon as you walk into the Big Top, the world just changes. The atmosphere is electric. People dressed in different clothes, wearing all sorts of exotic makeup, and performing different routines take over and you FEEL you're in a different place. You can wander all over the pre-show freely and take it all in as you will hear reminders of when the performance is to begin and all seating is prearranged, so there's no reward for early seating. Souvenirs are on sale (obviously) and although you may be righteously tempted to do so - you'll regret buying the DVD's (recording quality sucks). Once you're in and seated, definitely recommend you buy by the bottle whatever it is you're drinking. Don't expect a heavy dinner, it's more along the side of tapas - so dinner before the show may actually be a good idea. Everything starts on time and ends on time so be punctual. Once the show begins, its a straight shot with a brief intermission for bio breaks. You can join the dancing at the end, which is fun, but this is a spectacle to take in completely through sights and sounds. Relax and enjoy Cali's version of Cirque du Soleil.
