Cali Sights

  1. Museo Arqueológico La Merced

    The highlight of this archaeological museum is its collection of pre-Columbian pottery left behind by the major cultures of central and southern Colombia, including Quimbaya, Tolima, Calima, Tierradentro, San Agustín, Nariño and Tumaco. Fittingly, it's housed in Cali's oldest colonial building, the 16th-century former La Merced convent.
