Located in the heart of the Colombian Pacific, Santiago de Cali has transcended borders not only as the salsa capital of the world, but also as the city of the birds of the seven rivers.
This region is distinguished by its diverse ecosystems and habitats, which are home to an incomparable wealth of animal and plant species. From dense tropical forests to mangrove swamps and estuaries, passing through mighty rivers, lagoons and beaches. The Colombian Pacific is a treasure trove of biodiversity!
Because of its geographic location, Cali has had a demographic transition that has led its population to be a melting pot of ethnicities, whose idiosyncrasies and cultures make it unique in Colombia and the entire Pacific coast of South America.
- Thirty-five percent of the population of the Pacific region is recognized as indigenous or Afro.
- 40% of the region's territory is collectively owned by Afro and indigenous communities.
