Why Calima Zone?


We choose Calima as it is a site that is close to the city, in their time has brought us a lot of fun, is a place of rest and contact with nature where you can to have a good time surrounded by family, friends and loved ones, leaving the daily routine that a city brings.The climate is suitable and constant change makes it possible to enjoy different activities. Also it is one of the most visited by people from outside the region and that any person coming to Valle del Cauca to be missed this experience.

Our Opinions

What I like is that Lake Calima is a site near the city of Cali, which can be shared with family and friends. The weather is nice and there are a variety of activities that you can entertain.
The downside that I see is the little town hotel capacity there, most of the stay is done especially in the farms and ranches that are located around them.

What I like Calima  is its diverse landscape, climate and you can enjoy sunny days where you can enjoy swimming and the lake itself, and nights with the sky full of stars with a temperate climate where you can enjoy the gastronomy of the area such as corn arepas and a hot cup of chocolate.
What I dislike is the congestion that occurs from Mediacanoa until  Puente Tierra where large trucks take up space on the road and the vehicle flow slows. In addition, as at this time the road is a reconstruction, the road has deteriorated.
