Cali

Founden in 1536, Santiago de Cali is a warm and welcoming city. 

Colombia's third largest city developed around its sugar plantations and haciendas.   Visiting haciendas like El Paraiso, Cañasgordas and Piedechinche can be very relaxing and also very romantic. The Hacienda El Paraiso, for example, is where the most important romantic american novel - Maria - takes place.

Cali is also a very dynamic city, and becomes a huge party during the Feria de Cali that vibrates to the sounds of salsa music, giving Cali the appelative of "salsa capital of the world".

Sightseeing around the city the Cristo Rey statue, Monumento a Sebastian de Belalcazar and the Monumento de las Tres Cruces; also a visit to the Archeological Museum, the religious & colonial art museum La Merced, La Merced convent, La Ermita, and the Farallones natural park.
