While visiting Marisol’s sister in Cali, we had an opportunity to attend a football game between Deportivo Cali and Envigado in what would be my very first game in Colombia.
As to be expected in a city geared towards business, there are a lot of great restaurants in Cali. The restaurants covered in this post were chosen by friends and family we visited. Two of my favorite restaurants in Cali, The Market and Litany, are both covered in their own posts.
Cali has a great choice of hotels for both business and pleasure, ranging from basic hostels to top five star name brands. I’ve stayed at two different hotels in Cali on my many trips through the city.
Dinner at The Market, located inside the Marriott Hotel in Cali, is a good experience. They have a huge selection of international cuisine in a casual dining room with a nice ambience.
Litany is an authentic Lebanese restaurant that brings all of the flavors of the Middle East to Cali. We had an excellent meal and were very happy with the service.
Cali has Colombia’s first cinematography museum, Caliwood, which was founded in 2008. This museum is packed with a collection of projectors, cameras, movie posters, memorabilia and more. Some of the equipment dates back to the very first days of cinema.
Cali isn’t big on tourism but there are a few museums in town to keep you busy. Most of them are decent. I was able to visit four of them.
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.
