Eje Cafetero (Zona Cafetera)

Reviewed By Colombia-road-travel - Medellin, Colombia

I have driven all through this magnificent area a number of times, you must behold at least once. The landscape, the rolling hills, the Cauca Valley, the nature, the hiking, the coffee farms and the people, just go and see it and experience it for yourself. I have been through the whole area, back and forth, a number of times in my car as I always make it a point to "stop and smell the roses" as they say on my travels from my home in Medellin to Cali and into Ecuador and also Neiva to the south and so too on my return to my home in Medellin. You will enjoy as I and countless other have!

Museo Aereo Fenix

It is the only civil aviation and railroad museum in Colombia. See 27 full size aircraft and 4 locomotives, two model airports and two giant working model railroad layouts. More than 3500 models, many in realistic dioramas and the largest collection of airline flatware. There is also a collection of 30 uniforms and flying suits, both military and civilian.

As a family of four (my husband and our two adult daughters) we visited this exhibition in December 2017 and were very impressed. It's an excellent and vast collection of various means of transportation worth spending an afternoon or even a day to look at it closely. We are very grateful to Mr. Jose Guillermo Pardo for his passionate and detailed tour and historical knowledge. It is this type of exhibits that make me very proud of my hometown, Cali. Keep up the excellent work and I hope the city of Cali can provide additional funds to expand the exhibition to fit more airplanes and trains.

Reviewed By lauraeCali

The zoo is really nice, the animals look happy and well cared-for. The price is really worth it, it's a nice place to stay for a few hours.

Iglesia de San Antonio

Reviewed By GeneralShamu - New York City, United States

Didn't actually enter this church, only walked around it. There are some great city views from here AND if you behind the church there is this astonishingly beautiful tree that has the majority of it's roots growing above ground.

Cristo Rey

Reviewed By lamona78

This was quite an experience. The drive up to Cristo Rey was not that far from downtown. When we arrived to the top, it was about 20 degrees cooler and very windy. We were able to have amazing photos taken with our family, buy little trinkets, have hot chocolate with cheese, eat arepas, and have a few other treats! I have pictures with Cristo Rey but don’t want to post for privacy reasons

Barrio San Antonio

Reviewed By mbg1968 - Washington DC, United States

San Antonio is a great little area of Cali with colorful buildings for homes, restaurants, galleries, and little shops. Everything is color! Its great to walk around although streets usually have some inclines. The location is walking distance from town center and nightlife.

Playa Juan de Dios

Reviewed By mialinneakj - Kerobokan, Indonesia

Playa Juan de Dios is a Nature Reserve and a hidden Paradise located a few hours from Cali, Colombia. The closest town is Buenaventura. This place is easily accessible by boat, which is an adventure in itself with it’s breathtaking scenery. The deserted beach that awaits you here .is like taken out of a movie. At Playa Juan de Dios you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake up to the birdsong. The Pacific Ocean lays right in front of your door and the wild jungle and Mangrove forest behind. This in itself is completely unique and provides great diversity. The list of activities available here are endless, but my favorites are kayaking trough the mangrove forests with a pit stop by the water temple and long jungle walks. The breathtaking waterfall and natural springs at the beach next door is definitely worth a visit. Whale safari is also available here. The bohios (Colombian bungalows) are super cute and rustic with simple outdoor toilets and showers attached. These are located far apart from each other, which is a huge benefit as it gives you tons of privacy. Camping here is also possible. Whether you travel solo, with a partner or with your family, this is a place definitely worth visiting. Juan de Dios also accepts volunteers. Marco the owner and his son Sebastian are amongst the most beautiful humans I’ve ever met. I’m forever grateful for the way they welcomed me into their family. I will never forget my stay here with them. And last but not least; Martika and Maria cooks the most delicious gourmet meals for you, which in itself is worth the visit. Muchísimas Gracias!
