Stay Safe in These Areas
Many parts of the city of Cali are safe and welcoming. However, there are some areas known for higher levels of danger for visitors:
- Aguablanca District (Communes 13, 14, 15): Located in the eastern part of Cali, this large district has been consistently cited as one of the most dangerous areas.
- Commune 21: This is another area in the eastern part of the city that is often mentioned as having high crime rates for similar reasons as Aguablanca.
- El Rodeo (Part of Commune 12): This specific neighbourhood within Commune 12 has also been highlighted as particularly dangerous.
- Eastern Cali (Beyond Calle 25): The entire eastern part of Cali has a reputation for being more dangerous than other areas.
- Northernmost Zone: Similar to the eastern zone, the extreme northern areas are sometimes considered less safe.
- El Centro (Downtown) at Night: While busy and relatively safe during the day, the city centre can become dangerous after dark due to theft and other criminal activities.
- Las Ollas (Near Plaza Caicedo): This area of small alleys is known for drug dealing, addiction, and prostitution.
- Tres Cruces (for Solo Hiking): While scenic, hiking alone here can attract thieves.
Important Emergency Telephone Number
123: This is the single number that connects you to all emergency services, including the police, fire department, and ambulances in Cali
Factors Affecting Safety in Cali
- Drug Trafficking: Cali’s location with easy access to coca-growing areas is of strategic importance to the drug trade.
- Gang Violence: Criminal organisations operate in the city, often engaging in turf wars, homicides, and other violent crimes.
- Poverty and Lack of Opportunity: Economic inequality and limited access encourage individuals to commit crime as a means of survival.
- Patchy Law Enforcement: In some areas, the presence and effectiveness of law enforcement allow criminal activities to flourish.
- Historical Factors: The legacy of the Cali Cartel and the long-lasting Colombian conflict have contributed to a culture of violence in certain areas.
- Corruption: The vast profits generated by drug trafficking often lead to corruption within local institutions, which can further enable it to flourish
