Things to do in Cali, Valle del Cauca Department: The Best Day Trips from

February 18, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

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 went on hike with Viajes Che. My tour guide was Cesar and I had a great time, definitely worth the view when you get to the top. Cesar was a great tour guide, he taught me some of Colombia’s history and how Indigenous people hunted and lived on the mountains. If you ever travel to Cali I highly recommend to give Viajes Che a call. They also have an amazing coffee experience tour and tour to Valle de cocora. I was able to experience all of them. I had a great time thanks to Cesar and Viajes Che definitely will be back to try other tours!

Great 10 days spent in Colombia as a group of 6 friends, renting Mike's bikes (BMW GS 750 & 850) without any problem all along the trip. Due to pandemia, no tourists at all so for all of us the best moment to discover or re-discover this marvelous country with high hospitality especially out of biggest cities. Mike has been a great adviser for giving good tips for where to stay and what to see ... So just finishing we all promissed to come back and discover another region of Colombia as soon as possible.

Cesar and Sarita were amazing guides and provided a nice experience to hike to Oasis de la Sirena in Danubio River. Even the Nature gave us some rains the previous days and the river was not as clear as it is used to be, the landscape is beautiful, the experience of crossing Rivers, swimming and jumping to the natural pool is worth every cent. Cesar also was very helpful coordinating transportation all the time, recomending places to stay and other experiences that we did with other tour operators. If you have any doubt about your stay in Cali please ask Cesar and his team will give you the best experience possible. Regards
