Juanchito Salsa Clubs
Juanchito
The legendary salsa club district on the far side of the Cauca River, the most authentic all-night dancing experience in the 'Salsa Capital' of the world.
Juanchito lies on the east bank of the Cauca River, in the municipality of Candelaria. Just across the river from Cali, it is the 'Mecca of salsa.' Dozens of large dance clubs line the highway, and on weekends the dancing runs from late at night until sunrise. The dancers move at a very fast tempo, which is the famous 'Cali-style salsa.' Beginners can take one or two lessons at a salsa school in the city before heading to the clubs to soak up the atmosphere. The coordinates are an estimate. Take a taxi both ways, go with companions, and keep an eye on your drinks and belongings.
