Local knowledge for Cali

Where to stay

San Antonio is where most backpackers end up, and for good reason. Hostels concentrate around Parque San Antonio and Parque El Peñón, putting you within walking distance of Calle 5 (La Quinta) and a short MÍO BRT ride from almost anywhere else in the city.

Getting around

  • The MÍO BRT system costs under 3,000 COP per trip and covers the bus terminal, Chipichape, and the city center. Skip the taxi touts waiting outside hostels.
  • Galería Alameda on Calle 26 near Carrera 8 has cheap fresh fruit, jugos, and prepared food. Get there before noon for the best selection and prices.
  • Salsa practice nights at spots like Tin Tin Deo cost a fraction of formal lessons and give you the real thing. Ask your hostel which nights Zaperoco or La Topa Tolondra run a practica before you pay a full cover.

When to go

May and early June tend to be the cheapest months to book. Feria de Cali (December 25-30) fills every hostel in San Antonio within days of opening and prices spike sharply.
