Delirio is the ultimate salsa experience in Cali and maybe in the world. It's like a salsa circus with the most amazing show you can imagine. It takes place in a tent out by the Cali conference center on the last Friday every month and every day during the Cali Feria (Dic 25-30). You have to buy your tickets in advance and ideally arrive early to make the best of it. Food served as well. It's an all night experience.

Neighborhoods

San Antonio is Cali's old colonial neighborhood. Lots of little restaurants, hostels, ice cream shops and artisanal shops. Enjoy the views from the chapel on top of the hill, eat local specialties and hang with the locals.

A hike up to Cali's 3 Crosses should be mandatory for all visitors (if their physical condition permits). The view of the city is amazing, they sell fresh fruit, banana bread and juices on the top. There's a primitive gym as well. Go early - before 9 am - to avoid the getting burned by and also the police patrols the trails until noon.
