Santiago de Cali, or Cali, is the capital city of the Valle de Cauca department in southwest Colombia. The city is the third largest in Colombia, with a population of just under 2.5 million. According to a 2016 World Population Review report. Cali’s economic is sustained by rubber, tourism, chemicals, paper, furniture, sugar, and biofuel and agribusiness industries. It has also been dubbed as "Colombia’s Salsa Capital". Regardless of its booming economy, it ranks as among the world's most dangerous cities. In 2012, the city saw 1861 homicides, resulting in a rate of 81.1 per 100,000 people. Drug trafficking and gang-related violence have both been cited as causes of Cali's high crime rate, although the city is nonetheless gaining popularity as a tourist destination.

Thank you!

muy lindo lugar, aunque no he ido nunca, si he escuchado al respecto. una lastima la violencia.

Thanks for the information.. keep it up..

Is the information reliable? I have visited Cali before and I don't feel that dangerous in terms of security and problem living there. I guess the dangerous cities would be like Tegucigalpa in Honduras or the very obvious one Chihuahua in Mexico.

Nice, Will be looking forward to your posts. :-)
