Bulevar del Río
Bulevar del Río (Bulevar de la Avenida Colombia)
Riverside promenade created by sinking the traffic lanes underground, linking La Ermita church, the old town and the Gato del Río park.
The Riverside Boulevard is an urban renewal project completed in 2013. The traffic of Avenida Colombia was moved underground, and the surface became a broad, tree-lined promenade along the Cali River. It connects La Ermita church, the Jairo Varela Memorial Square honoring the salsa musician, and the Gato del Río park. Sculptures, fountains and benches line the route. In the evening locals stroll, jog and watch street performances here. It is the most convenient route for visiting downtown sights, and in December it is decorated with Christmas lights.
