Cali is safe depending on the locations and times, don’t use expensive jewelry around and I recommend you to not use ur phone in the street if you can’t be alert, would recommend u to stay in the touristic places and to find a local friend if u want to see more

I was volunteering in the mountains near Cali and on my days off, booked the hostel Patio del Rio and had such an amazing time. The employees there Andres and Thomas were so warm and welcoming and showed me around the city, I met tons of lovely people and even baked a banana bread for everyone in the hostel! I would reccomend going out at night with locals, or at the very least go with large groups of people. Safety in numbers.
