11 Reasons I prefer Cali over Medellín

June 11, 2015

Culture·Plan to stay·Plan to visit·Things to do

Medellín is a favorite among tourists, expats and entrepreneurs alike, and to be fair, it is a very cool place. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Medellín, but I currently live as a resident in Cali. Of course I am biased in my opinions.

I love a good workout. It clears my head, releases stress and makes me feel great. That being said, I’m not a big fan of going to the gym. I’d much rather be outside, especially in Cali where the weather is great all year round. For a long time, I

Zaperoco – Old School Salsa in Cali

Music & Dancing·Nightlife·Things to do

As one of the oldest bars in Cali, Zaperoco has become an institution and one of the best places to listen to salsa music and dance in the city. I say dance, because the bar is far from the best place to go if you plan to hang in the

Organized Chaos at Galeria Alameda in Cali

Groceries·Safety·Shopping·Things to do

It’s organized chaos. Imagine a place where buyers and sellers of herbs, flowers, exotic fruits, veggies, meat and fish mingle and haggle. A place where a pound of cow eyes are just as likely to be sold as a bag of potatoes. A place where indigenous women sell hand-woven baskets

Although the location next to la Autopista in Cali may not be the best, I assure you that Manzana Verde serves some of the best fruit cocktails I’ve seen in the city – maybe even in the entire country. I’ve only been once, but I’m already a fan. The entire menu

Cali with kids·Culture·Plan to stay

My friends abroad think that living in Colombia is dirt-cheap. And to be fair, it can be. Especially if you live off rice and beans, rent /buy your house in estrato 1 or 2, use public transportation etc. But if you’re looking to upgrade, then you’re in for a surprise. I’m sure tourists,

If you don’t know what an Empanada is, well then you’re missing out. It’s a street food that you can find many places in Latin America. Made of corn dough wrapped around a mixture of meat, onions and potatoes and then fried, it makes for the perfect snack to wash down

Making friends·Sport & Recreation·Things to do

Whether on rocks or walls, climbing is one of the ultimate tests of finger strength and a great exercise in general. Have you ever seen a fat climber? Neither have I, which suggests that it may be a great way to get in shape. But not only that – it is also

If you like to drink beer, get your hands dirty and play primitive games, then “Tejo” (pronounced te-ho) may be just what you are looking for. Considered one of Colombia’s national sports, the game dates back more than 500 years and was originally played with a disc made of gold. Anyone can

After having several friends recommend Restaurante Pica to me, I finally went with my family on a Saturday for lunch. We arrived at around 2:00 p.m., which is prime time for lunch-eating Colombians on the weekend, but sadly the restaurant was completely empty. Looking at the menu, I quickly realized

On a warm day in Cali, there’s nothing better than jumping into a refreshing cold swimming pool. If your hotel or house does not have a pool and you’re not a member of one of Cali’s exclusive clubs like Club Campestre or Club Colombia, do not despair. Cali has a
