Santiago de Cali is the third largest
city in Colombia. Founded in 1536 by
Sebastian de Belalcazar, it was a sleepy
little mountain town until the sugar and
coffee industries brought prosperity to
the region.
After drug lord Pablo Escobar was killed
in Medellín in 1993 and the Medellín
Cartel fell apart, the remaining drug
traffickers moved to Cali and formed the
Cali Cartel. However, this too dissolved
when the treasurer of the cartel fled to
the US.
Cali is located in Colombia’s
southwestern region, about 995 meters
above sea level. A diverse region of
coast, foothills and the Andean
cordillera. Cali is a rich
