Cali transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around San Antonio neighborhood and Iglesia de la Ermita take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Barrio Granada for the kind of night that only locals know about.

Cali is primarily visited for salsa dancing and music, but the city takes on a different character at night.

Look for Barrio Granada — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
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.
