Cali - The City of Salsa!!

Although it was quite an ugly city, I enjoyed my three day stay in Cali. Cali is hot and humid.

The city is known for being the capital of salsa dancing. At the hostel I was staying at, there was three people taking private classes. They weren't particularly expensive, I just don't have much time left... :( 

There are dancing studios all over the city. When you go out and see people dancing, you know it's pretty serious!

I checked out their famous church, which was small and closed. Behind it, is the famous monument of the guy who built the city.

In the evenings, the guy at the hostel would teach us some basic steps (I am still struggling with the first!) and then he brings us out.

The first typical place is TinTin Den. Here there are locals and gringos.

Then they go "north", to Menga district. 

There is a lot of people, and they all dance.

On the Sunday, from Cali I took the Expreso Palmira bus to Armenia and at the far end of the bus terminal, I got on a small bus to Salento. It was 3800$COP.
