This is the BEST short hike in Cali, Colombia, totally adjusted to your pace.
Experience the most popular hike for caleños, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays youll see many people enjoying nature, the trail and the beautiful view of the city and the Andes mountains.
We start our hike at the entrance of the Bataclán Natural Park, there we will go up the first segment of the hike, well stop at 2 overlooks for pictures (along the way you can also buy water, fresh juices, fruit and other snacks) , then we continue the hike to the overlook were we will watch the sunset over the city and the Andes mountains.
When we are done watchin the sunset, we continue going up to see the Three Crosses Monument up close and the views from the monument lookover.
When we are ready well start our way down, into our night hike, until we reach the same entrance of the park where we started.
Details about the hike:
- We ascend from 1080masl to 1480masl
- We can take the stairs or an aeasier trail for the first half of the hike.
- To get to the lookouts we must reach at least half of the hike.
- To reach my favorite lookout (where you can see the andes to one side and the city to the other) we have to go past a steep part, about 50 meters.
- To reach the monument we must pass a second steep part wich is longer about 250 meters
-Having a flashlight would be great for the way back, even if its just your charged phone.
