GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Cali is a Colombian city in the Valle del Cauca department, southwest of Bogotá. It is known for salsa dancing (there are many clubs in the suburb of Juanchito). In Cali’s oldest quarter, the neoclassical San Pedro Cathedral houses paintings of the Quito School. Nearby is the 18th- and 19th-century San Francisco Religious Complex. La Merced Chapel is where the first mass was held after Cali was founded in 1536.

LOCATIONS EXPERIENCED
IGLESIA LA MERCED
Iglesia La Merced is the city's oldest church. It's a whitewashed building in the Spanish colonial style, with a long, narrow nave, and humble wood and stucco construction. Inside, a heavily gilded baroque high altar is topped by the Virgen de las Mercedes, the patron saint of the city.
PARQUE EL GATO DE TEJADA
El Gato del Rio is a three-ton bronze sculpture by the late Colombian artist Hernando Tejada. It came to the city as part of a municipal improvement project designed to beautify the banks of the Cali river on the city’s north side. The project expanded to include 15 smaller felines — all cast in the same shape — which other local artists subsequently painted as well.
