Cali is a prosperous and lively city with a fairly hot climate. Cali is located on the Cauca Valley to the west of the Cauca River and to the east of the Western Mountain Range near the hills known as Farallones de Cali.Although founded in 1536, its growth came only in this century, primarily with the development of the sugar industry, followed by dynamic progress in other sectors.The name Santiago de Cali comes in one part to honour Saint James the apostle (Santiago in Spanish) whose feast day is celebrated on July 25.
Nowadays Cali is a sprawling city of over 2 million inhabitants, many of them recent immigrants from poor rural areas, who have created squalid slums on the outskirts while they absorb the skills needed to prosper in an urban setting, while the local government and its citizenry struggle to help them integrate.
Apart from a few fine churches and museums. the city doesn't have many tourist attractions. Rather its appeal lies in its atmosphere and its inhabitants, who are, in general, friendly and easygoing.
