Located in Southwest Colombia, Cali is the capital of the Cauca Valley department and the second most important city in Colombia. The imposing mountains of the Farallones National Park watch quietly over the city, a city that is known for its pleasant climate year-round. A fresh and sweet city, with a vibrant culture and interesting social life, Cali is quickly becoming a go-to destination for travelers from around the world. Its nightlife, cheerful and charming people, rich cuisine, six rivers, and green open spaces (home to more than 260 species of birds) make Cali a required stop for international and Colombian tourists alike.
