Discover Cali and Valle del Cauca with Vivian Carrascal Borrero, founder of Colombia Exploring. Her locally guided day tours connect travelers with the region’s culture, food, and natural beauty—from Cali’s markets, historic neighborhoods, and salsa to the rainforest rivers of San Cipriano, the scenery of Calima Lake, and the native plants of El Refugio.
