10 Things to do in Cali That You Shouldn't Miss

January 21, 2022 Leonardo Torrence

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.

The zoo is really nice, the animals look happy and well cared-for. The price is really worth it, it's a nice place to stay for a few hours.

Didn't actually enter this church, only walked around it. There are some great city views from here AND if you behind the church there is this astonishingly beautiful tree that has the majority of it's roots growing above ground.

Cristo Rey

Reviewed By lamona78

This was quite an experience. The drive up to Cristo Rey was not that far from downtown. When we arrived to the top, it was about 20 degrees cooler and very windy. We were able to have amazing photos taken with our family, buy little trinkets, have hot chocolate with cheese, eat arepas, and have a few other treats! I have pictures with Cristo Rey but don’t want to post for privacy reasons

A beautiful Gothic styled Church in the heart of downtown Cali. You will seldom see a poster or postcard of Cali without La Hermita being prominently featured. Be prepared with your camera, you will undoubtedly be taking many pictures.

The ride to the Rio Pance was just as surprising as the beauty of the waterfall! There were people riding bikes UP the hill to the river. Some even braved the hiking trail down to the waterfall. The falls were beautiful. The water cold! Very glad we made the trip!

Reviewed By mbg1968 - Washington DC, United States

San Antonio is a great little area of Cali with colorful buildings for homes, restaurants, galleries, and little shops. Everything is color! Its great to walk around although streets usually have some inclines. The location is walking distance from town center and nightlife.
