Cali Colombia is a one hour flight from Medellin Colombia. It is know to be hot and dangerous, but it is not as hot or as dangerous as you think, at least the part I stayed in.

Cali, city, capital of Valle del Cauca departamento, western Colombia. It lies on both sides of the Cali River at an elevation of 3,327 feet (1,014 metres), in the subtropical intermontane Cauca Valley. The city was founded on July 25, 1536, by Sebastián de Benalcázar. Cali did not develop economically until the 1950s, however, because of its landlocked position. It has since become Colombia’s third largest city, after Bogotá and Medellín.

Since 1954 the valley’s agricultural and industrial development have been improved by the Cauca Valley Corporation (CVC), an autonomous public body modeled after the Tennessee Valley Authority in the United States. The CVC drained the upper Cauca River, Colombia’s second major waterway, to generate electrical power, prevent flooding, and make marginal farmland more suitable for large-scale cultivation by irrigation and mechanization.
