Cali's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near San Antonio neighborhood and Gato del Rio sculptures, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Museo La Tertulia — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
Cali is the salsa capital of the world, a tropical Colombian city where the rhythm of the dance pervades every neighborhood. Walking its parks, historic center, and salsa districts reveals a passionate, welcoming city.

Cali is known for salsa dancing and music, but creativity is woven into every corner. Street art appears visible around San Antonio neighborhood and Gato del Rio sculptures, music drifts from doorways in neighborhoods off the main tourist path. Lesser-known creative pockets like Museo La Tertulia reward those who walk slowly enough to notice.
Cali is hot year-round with temperatures around 25 to 32 degrees Celsius — walk in the morning or late afternoon and carry water. The San Antonio hill is worth the climb for the breeze and views.
December through March and June through August are the driest months, with the Feria de Cali in late December bringing the biggest salsa festival in the world.
