Good place to visit

In Cali we can find many places to visit, but these are the most characteristic and a visit to cali can not leave out of your list to visit.

1. Monument to Cristo Rey.

Cristo Rey statue is 31 meters high at Cerro Crystals at 1440 m in the village Los Andes, west of the city of Cali, Colombia. The hill is so named because of the large amount of quartz that could be collected in the surrounding area.

In celebration of fifty years after the end of the Thousand Days' War, on Sunday October 25, 1953 was inaugurated at its summit an image of Christ, iron and concrete, with a mass of 464 tons and a height of 31 meters, of which belong to the pedestal 5m.

2. Statue and viewpoint Sebastián de Belalcázar.

The idea began in the 30s when the city was turning 400 years of existence. Was entrusted the work to the Spanish sculptor Victorio Macho, who performed in Spain and was subsequently transferred by boat to Buenaventura and on to Cali mule, to be subsequently assembled and placed on a pedestal on the site now occupied.

He raised his right hand pointing westward as this is the landlocked, placed his left hand on his iron sword called 'Tizona ". On the pedestal is engraved coat of arms of Cali, he inaugurated the July 25, 1937, one year after the 400th birthday of the city.

3.  Cerro de las 3 cruces.

The ascent begins in the place known as Altos de Normandy, in the Normandy area; about 480 meters up. Every Easter the faithful climb to the summit as a sign of their faith.

The monument began to lift in 1937, and construction drawings were made by the engineer Argemiro Escobar and the foreman Luis Felipe Perea.1 The base has 420 m², the central cross is the largest with 26 m and 11 m wide, while the lateral junctions are 22 m high and 8 m wide.

The monument Three Crosses was built because, we are told, the devil appeared on the hill and cursed the people of Cali, so to counter this curse a father organized the construction of these to lock him inside the mountain itself. Initially they were made in bamboo but subsequently made the switch by current concrete.
