The Enrique Buenaventura Municipal Theatre hosts performances in a building as dramatic as the shows inside. At the Calima Gold Museum, pre-Columbian treasures glitter under spotlights, telling stories older than the city itself. Families flock to Cali Zoo, where tropical species roam in naturalistic habitats. For a refreshing escape, Caña Aquapark offers water slides and pools perfect for hot afternoons.

"Now Hotel Cali, un lugar con un personal que realmente se preocupa por sus huéspedes! Mi estadía en Now Hotel Cali fue maravillosa de principio a fin. Es un hotel boutique moderno y acogedor, con habitaciones impecables y muy cómodas. La ubicación es excelente: muy cerca de Granada, así que fue facilísimo salir a comer y disfrutar de la ciudad. Todo el personal nos recibió con mucha calidez y nos hizo sentir como en casa desde el primer momento. Pero quiero hacer un agradecimiento muy especial a Félix, quien literalmente nos salvó el día. Ya íbamos camino al aeropuerto cuando nos dimos cuenta de que habíamos dejado mi pasaporte en el hotel. Fue un momento de mucho estrés y pensé que iba a perder mi vuelo. Félix actuó de inmediato, sin dudarlo, y logró llevarme el pasaporte al aeropuerto a tiempo para abordar. Su rapidez, amabilidad y compromiso fueron increíbles. No cualquiera haría algo así, y de verdad no tengo palabras para agradecerle lo suficiente. ¡Félix, gracias de corazón! Eres un ejemplo de lo que significa un servicio excepcional. Sin duda volveré a hospedarme en Now Hotel cuando regrese a Cali, y lo recomiendo totalmente a cualquiera que visite la ciudad. ¡Cinco estrellas y más!"
