Attractions in Cali, Colombia:
Cali is Colombia's third largest city with over two million inhabitants. It is located in southwestern Colombia and is known as the world capital of salsa dancing. Cali is one of the few cities in the world where salsa is the main genre for all festivities and entertainment.

Cali's streets are filled with salsotecas roaring seven nights a week. Other than being the mecca of salsa music, Cali is famous for its abundance of beautiful women. Other diversions are available in this lively destination.

Nightlife:
Quick feet and loose hips are needed for a night out in Cali. Salsa dancing is king of the nightlife scene in Cali. Many clubs in the city are along La sexta (6th street). Restaurants, hotels and cafes are all there as well. Granada is another district downtown with many bars, restaurants and boutiques. Granada is good if you want to visit a bar without salsa dancing.

Juanchito, outside the city in the suburb of Rio Cauca, has one of the highest concentrations of discotheque and clubs in the country. Chango is maybe the one notable establishment there. It usually doesn't get crowded until late at around midnight.

Festivals:
Feria De Cali (December 25 through January 1) is the biggest celebration in Cali. There is a salsa marathon, horse riding parades, masquerades, a beauty contest, athletics and dance parties. Bullfighting coincides with the fair at La Plaza de Toros de Cañaveralejo. Thousands of visitors attend the event each year. In early July, there is the week long Summer Salsa Festival. Bands from all over the world come every year. Salsa competitions and dance shows are held there as well. Soccer is a big deal in Cali and street parties coincide with soccer matches.

Outdoor Fun:
There is no beach near Cali but residents compensate by swimming at the Pance river. It is the least polluted river in the city and maybe the only one suitable for swimming. Sundays are usually heavily crowded. Cali river is west of the city and is one of the more tranquil parts of town. It is surrounded by restaurants, hotels, and an art museum.

Shopping can be done outside at the traditional open air markets at Unicentro in the south and Chipichape in the north. However, the best bargains can be found from street vendors on 13th, 14th and 15th streets downtown. Visitors can go exploring and paragliding at Farallones de Cali national park if they wish to escape the urban environment. Farallones de Cali is a mountain in the Andes of Colmbia and is 4,100 meters in height.

The Gold Museum:
Perhaps it was the height of the Colombian capital, Bogota (2592 m), which is The Gold Museum, or perhaps the scope and beauty of the museum's collection, but the truth is that he looked at you out of breath. Although only the light less than 15% of the 30,000 artifacts from the museum, the sophisticated work of exhibits and the sheer magnitude of the collection are stunning.

This is a collection unique in its category that largely dispersed any doubts about the treasure of El Dorado. An extraordinary accumulation of masterpieces that represent all the pre Colombian cultures of the region.

A series of small gold figures exposed a great pleasure playing birds, masks, frogs, insects and human beings "?

The Gold Museum is located at number 15-82 of the Carrera 6, in the Parque de Santander, and is open Tuesday through Sunday. The price of admission is $ 3.

Which Are The Attractions of Colombia:
I travel to Colombia several times during the year and I can tell you that it is an incredible country. There are too many reasons why I can tell that, but in general, Colombia has all the conditions to be an emerging economy in the future. One of the most significant things is that Colombia has good natural resources and it is a determinant factor to grow and reach the development in the nation.

On the other hand Colombia has several skilled professionals that are working in different scientific fields as well as in the government of this country. Colombia has a developed agro industrial economy which a large production each year.

If we talk about natural resources in Colombia we have to talk about their impressive mountains, forests, lakes, rivers and coasts. Colombia is ranked as one of the most impressive destinations of the world and more specifically in South America.

Colombia has commercial relations with several countries around the world as well as diplomatic relations with European countries and a free commerce trade with United States  which is actually operating as a bilateral free commerce trade- which is something very important for the development and the increasing of competition level in this country.
Attractions in Colombia are everywhere because if you talk with people in Colombia you will see they are a different race of people that are very serviceable, helpful and kind. This is a plus that Colombian has that you can't find in people from other nations on earth. Colombia has also diverse cultural activities that are promoted in different nations on earth.

If you see Colombian women you will see these are the most beautiful women on earth. As matter as fact, Colombian women are ranked as the most beautiful women on earth according to several beauty associations.
