🌦️ Weather & Vibes Dry season (July onward): 20-28°C, sunny perfection ☀️. Architecture: European-style buildings in the quiet downtown. Language barrier: Few English speakers = Google Translate is your BFF. ⚠️ Safety & Transport Reality check: Less chaotic than rumors—police guard hotels/malls. Cabify app: Rides cost €1-2 for 10-minute trips. Cash payments only (some drivers scam card users by "ghost riding"). FYI: 80K complaints on the app (20K for no-shows!). 📱 SIM Cards Claro: 12GB/7 days for 20,000-25,000 COP (price varies mysteriously—no receipts 🧐). 🍖 Food Scene Meat + starch heaven: Grilled/ fried everything (tasty but heavy). Veggie hack: Compensate with huge, sweet fruits— Passion fruits the size of softballs! Guava stalls: €0.60/serving 🍈. #Cali #ColombiaTravel #BudgetFinds
