Enjoy delicious empanadas and Lulada (Raechel’s favorite drink) at El Obelisco! Lulada is a traditional Colombian beverage from Cali, in the Valle del Cauca Department of Colombia. It is prepared from lulo, a fruit common to the region, lime juice, water, and sugar.
San Cipriano is a unique, off-the-beaten-path day trip for those looking for an adventure. The cool thing about San Cipriano is that the journey to get there is just as exciting as the place itself. To get to the entrance to San Cipriano, catch a bus from the Cali bus terminal headed to Buenaventura. Tell them you’re going to San Cipriano (the stop you need to take is called Zaragoza). The bus ride takes about 2 hours and costs around 20,000 pesos each way. From Zaragoza you will be crossing the river on a pedestrian suspension bridge before a "moto-brujita" (roughly translated to "motorcycle witch" - a fun little makeshift moto-train) will be bringing you into the jungle. There you can rent a tube and float down the river, enjoy nature, and beautiful waterfalls!
The Cali Zoo (Zoologico de Cali) is known to be the most beautiful in all of Colombia. And it’s not your typical zoo…here, the animals have more freedom than most zoos. Many of the 233+ different species even roam around free. The Cali River also runs straight through the zoo, so it feels like you’re walking right through the jungle!
