Museo La Tertulia : Explore modern and Latin American art in riverfront galleries. Step into the sculpture garden and check the small cinema’s program. Bulevar del Río : Stroll the riverwalk to cross footbridges, watch street artists, and find the bronze Gato del Río with its colourful cat companions. Pause at a kiosk for a cold cholado.

Question 3

Is Cali walkable?

Accepted Answer

Central Cali is walkable, especially San Antonio, El Peñon, and Granada, though some streets are steep.

The MIO system helps cover distance, with trunk routes like T31 and T47B across the centre and north–south corridors, feeders marked A and P into neighbourhoods, and the MIO Cable up to Siloé. Taxis work best for Cristo Rey and hilltop viewpoints.

For comfort or for day trips to places like Hacienda El Paraíso or San Cipriano, consider a private tour in Cali with private transportation.
