The best shopping in Cali isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like San Antonio neighborhood and Cristo Rey statue are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Museo La Tertulia — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
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.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Cali. The audio walking tour can include stops such as San Antonio neighborhood — a bohemian hillside barrio with colonial houses, independent cafes, a lookout chapel, and the lively Parque de los Gatos sculpture collection by Hernando Tejada, Cristo Rey statue — a 26-meter concrete Christ statue atop a hill on the city's western edge, offering panoramic views of the Cauca Valley and Cali's urban sprawl below, Gato del Rio sculptures — a riverside park featuring Hernando Tejada's large bronze cat sculpture alongside a row of whimsical cat statues decorated by different Colombian artists, plus hidden gems like Museo La Tertulia — a modern art museum on the riverbank with a sculpture garden and views of the green hillsides surrounding the city and Barrio Granada — an upscale neighborhood of restaurants and bars that has become Cali's culinary hotspot.
Use this page as a starting point for a Cali walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Cali. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Cali for salsa dancing and music, but every walking route ends up passing through San Antonio neighborhood and Cristo Rey statue and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Museo La Tertulia — it reflects what the people of Cali actually buy, make, and value.
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.
