Visas

Visitors from many countries, including the United States, Canada, the European Union, and most Latin American nations, do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days. However, it is essential to check specific requirements based on your nationality with the nearest Colombian consulate. For some nationalities who require a visa, an e-visa option is available. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date.

Transportation & getting from the airport

Official airport taxis are available outside the arrivals terminal, with a fixed fare to central Cali. Rideshare services like Uber and DiDi also operate in the area.

Safety recommendations:

Cali is a welcoming and lively city, but as with any major urban center, visitors should take common-sense precautions:

  • Use official taxis or rideshare apps rather than hailing taxis on the street.
  • Avoid displaying valuable items, particularly in crowded areas.
  • Stick to well-traveled areas, especially at night.
