Teave
Kiired faktid: This 16th-century church houses a museum of colonial religious art with over 300 pieces. Its bell tower was one of the first structures visible to travelers arriving in Cali during the colonial era.
Esiletõstmised: A secret tunnel once connected the church to the nearby San Antonio hill, used by priests as an escape route during pirate attacks. The tunnel was rediscovered in the 1990s during a construction project and remnants are still visible today.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Don't miss the small Museo de Arte Religioso upstairs, which holds golden altarpieces and paintings dating back four centuries.
- The best photo spot is from the courtyard looking up at the bell tower against the blue sky.
- Combine your visit with a walk through the adjacent Plazoleta de la Merced for a broader feel of colonial Cali.
- Watch for the original wooden ceiling beams in the main chapel, carved without modern tools.

Kas oled kuulnud tasuta jalutuskäikudest?
Pärast reisimist üle 30 riigi on üks asi, mida sooviksin, et keegi oleks mulle esimesest päevast peale öelnud, ja see muutis täielikult minu linnakogemust.
Tasuta jalutuskäigud. Jah, tõesti tasuta. Kaarti ei ole vaja. Püüniseid pole.
Kohalik giid, 2-3 tundi
Peamised vaatamisväärsused, peidetud pärlid, kohalikud lood
100% jootraha põhine
Giidid teenivad ainult jootraha, seega annavad nad parima
Sa annad jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks
Lõpus annad lihtsalt jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks
Olen neid teinud paljudes linnades ja need on olnud peaaegu iga reisi tipphetk. Kui külastad Cali, Colombia, tee seda esimesel päeval. Sa tänad mind hiljem.
