Cali, Colombia's third-largest city with roughly two million inhabitants, is noted more for its laid-back atmosphere and its Salsa scene than its tourist attractions. Cali is the capital of the department of Valle del Cauca, one of the most prosperous regions of the country and home of large sugar mills and numerous industries.
Located in the Cauca River Valley, Cali is also known throughout Colombia and the rest of South America for having beautiful women and for its love of salsa music. The best place to party Cali style is definitely Chango disco, across the river in Juanchito, which serves as Cali's party district.
At the end of the year, between December 25 and January 1st, the Feria De Cali (Cali Fair) takes place, with all kinds of street festivities. At this time of year the Bullfighting Festival, the most important event of its kind in the country takes place in the Plaza Monumental de Cañaveralejo |
