Tourism


Is Cali a safe city for tourism? The answer is yes. Even if the city has a high rank in criminality, violent events are constricted to 'violent areas' that your travel agency, hotel or Colombian friends or host will prevent you. For tourism, Cali is so risky as doing tourism in New York.


The city has several areas of tourism, some of them inside the Metropolitan Area and others in the State of Valley of Cauca. The city is also relatively near to other recommended places for tourism in the south-west of Colombia: at the north the Coffee Axes in the nearby states of Quindío, Risaralda and Caldas; at the west the Pacific Ocean coast with the port city of Buenaventura, at the south the 5 centuries-old Spaniard city of Popayán and at the east the State of Huila with the Archaeological Park of San Agustín.


Inside the Metropolitan Area
