INTRODUCTION

A marvelous land of friendly people. It pos -sesses a large biodiversity that encompasses all climates and infinite cultures that surpri -

se by their historical legacy.

Colombia, country of incredible diversity and charm. Its varied geogra-phy, its history full of mystery and adventure, its people and cultures have fascinated the world for centuries. The country is famous for its excelent cofee and the purity of its emeralds.

It is the unique country in South America surrounded by two oceans: Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. The second mega diverse country in the world after Brazil.

Cali is known in Colombia as the capital of �estas, street partying, dan-cing, and salsa as Cali's Salsa Clubs are among the most famous in the entire continent. Among many other things you can experience on your staying, the people from Cali have developed a playful and hedonistic culture in harmony with the natural surroundings and country life.

THE ANSWER IS COLOMBIA

Colombian people have many reasons to be proud of their country. Our contras -ting natural regions, their profuse flora and fauna, the ethnic diversity of our people and the richness of our cultural and artistic patrimony are some of them.

We also recognize ourselves in multiple symbols and icons that identify us in front of the world. They are present in our everyday life, in our celebrations, events and solemn occasions. Their meaning is the pride we feel to be Colom -bians, our belonging and origin. They state our presence and comfort us in face of adversity. These symbols make up an indivisi -ble unity out of our diversity.

The cumbia is the traditional Colombian musical genre best known in the world. Its origins date back to Guinean dances. It emerged from musical and cultural syncretism between Indians, Africans and Europeans in the Magdalena delta region.Cumbia combines their contributions. It is performed in groups by couples who dance in a circle to the beat of the drums and gaita music and hold a lit candle in their hands.

YELLOW IS A SYMBOL OF THE COUNTRY’S RICHES; BLUE REPRESENTS THE TWO OCEANS; RED IS THE BLOOD SPILLED BY OUR NATIONAL HEROES.

REGION and culture

We are located in a very diverse region. 4 hours to the Ocean, 6 hours to Ecuador and more than 100 di�erent cultures in one zone. Cali is a city globally recognized for the salsa music. The pas-sion, happiness and di-versity made Cali a city that mixes all the Colom-bian culture in one place.

In the evening, the devo-tion turns to dancing. In Juanchito, Cali's Salsa hotspot, humble mulatto �oorboards have become “dance-o-dromes”, where tourists and locals come together to dance until dawn. The climax occurs during the Feria de la Caña and the Bull�ghting Season, at the beginning of the year.

CLIMATEThe climate of Cali is equatorial tropical hot. Average temperature is 26º C (79º F), with an average low of 19º C (66º F) and an average high of 34º C (93º F).The dry seasons go from December to March and from July to August; the rainy season go from April to June and September to November.
