San Antonio Neighborhood
Barrio San Antonio
Cali's best-preserved colonial neighborhood, with colorful single-story houses, cafés, and a hilltop chapel, and a traditional gathering of storytellers at night.
San Antonio is one of Cali's oldest neighborhoods. Its hillside is lined with white-walled, red-tiled, brightly colored single-story houses, many of them converted into boutique hostels, cafés, handicraft shops, and salsa bars. At the top of the neighborhood, San Antonio Hill Park holds an 18th-century chapel, a popular spot for watching the sunset and taking in panoramic views of the city. On weekend evenings, street performers and storytellers gather there. It's about 15 minutes' walk from the city center. At night, go with a companion and stick to the main streets.
