Cali to Buga or Lake Calima Transport
Transfer Between Cali and Buga or Lake Calima
If you're in the Valle del Cauca and want to explore some of its most beautiful spots, this transfer between Cali or Buga and Lake Calima is the perfect option.
We'll pick you up at the meeting point you choose when booking, hop on a car or minibus, and sit back and relax during the ride, which takes about 2.5 hours through Colombia's gorgeous green landscapes.
Buga is famous for the Basílica del Señor de los Milagros, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the country, attracting millions of visitors with its striking red architecture and the sacred image on its altar. Its beautifully preserved historic center is also well worth a stroll.
If you're looking to spend a day surrounded by tropical nature, Lake Calima is the perfect plan. This reservoir is known for having the fastest winds in the Americas and the 3rd fastest in the world, making it a paradise for kitesurfing, windsurfing, and sailing fans. If you prefer something more laid-back, you can also rent a boat to cruise around the lake or go horseback riding along its shores.
In Cali, the must-do is visiting the traditional San Antonio neighborhood, with its colonial-style architecture and hilltops that are perfect for watching the sunset. We also recommend walking along the Bulevar del Río, checking out the Gato del Río statue, or heading up to the Cristo Rey monument for an incredible view of the entire city.
