Delirio – Cali’s Salsa Circus!

Events & Festivals·Music & Dancing·Nightlife·Things to do

This may be one of Cali’s best kept secrets. At least among foreigners. I’ve been 3 times and not once have I seen even the shadow of a gringo. But they are missing out. Delirio is spectacle and a show not to be missed. When I explain the concept of Delirio to

My girlfriend calls me “el hombre primitivo” – the primitive man. One of the reasons is that I rarely buy new clothes for myself. I can have a pair of jeans for 10 years if they are good and I like the fit and feel. As the old saying goes:

On a hot summer day, which is pretty much any day in Cali, there is not nothing better than an ice cream in the late afternoon. For me at least. Luckily Cali has several places where you can satisfy your cravings. Lengua de Mariposa I just found this place.. I

One day after playing with my daughter, swinging her around and throwing her on in the air, my back went into a lock-down. It came sneaking and within an hour I couldn’t even bend down to tie my own shoes. I’m 30 years old, in pretty good shape and all

Restaurants·Things to do

In Colombia it is hard to find any high-quality chain restaurant. And really, that’s fine with me. I prefer to support the smaller owner-operated establishments. But there is one that is too good to ignore – Crepes & Waffles. What started as a small crepería in Bogotá in 1980, with

After moving to Colombia I had to figure out where to do my shopping. Sure, my girlfriend and her family had plenty of suggestions, but as a foreigner we do not always appreciate the same things in life. There’s a ton of supermarkets in Cali and on top of the more

What is the best ceviche you’ve ever had? Mine was at Peru Peñon in Cali. And if I’m not counting my grandmothers salmon, then I might have to nominate their salmon for best in category as well. Anything that has to do with cooking things from the ocean, rocks at this establishment

Hiking·Nature·Sport & Recreation·Things to do

My all-time favorite exercise in Cali is probably climbing the mountain in the northwestern part of the city with the three crosses (and the 50 antennas). The place is known as “el Cerro” to the Caleños and it is visible from most of Cali. The simple reason that I love it so

Restaurants·Things to do

A visit to Teatro Magico del Sabor is in my honest opinion the best dining experience one can have in Cali. You may not agree that it is the best food in Cali, but you will have a hard time convincing me that the overall experience isn’t the best. Most likely
