If you find yourself in Ibagué, you have to try a tamal tolimense. This specialty can be found all over town but there’s one place we recommend in particular.
The absolute best thing we did in Ibagué was visit the San Jorge Botanical Garden (Jardín Botánico San Jorge). It’s an impeccably maintained and incredibly beautiful botanical garden with three trails.
Cali, officially named Santiago de Cali, has a historic city center that can easily be seen in just a few hours. Most of the sites lie within a fairly straight path and are accessible on foot.
