The 10 Best Historical & Heritage Tours in Cali, Valle del Cauca Department

July 3, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

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.

I’m glad I went on this tour. My tour guide was VERY knowledgeable. They even knew the names of the type of trees that grow in Cali. They gave interesting facts about Cali and took us too the heart of downtown Cali. I saw the cat park, Cristo el Rey, Statue of Sebastian, I saw la iglesia, and plazoleta. Do this first!
