Pance River, Valle del Cauca Department, Colombia
4.5 (322 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Cali Bodies of Water
An extraordinary Beauty!
Wow what a beautiful River so peaceful and clean just hearing the sound of the water makes you feel you are in heaven! Got the opportunity to visit this river at night time and I must say I'm in love with this city. Our taxi driver Alexander Sepulveda was AMAIZING; he took us everywhere and waited for us so patiently i must also say that my great experience was thanks to Him! When in Cali must visit this river and the neighborhood! Counting days to go back!

Run, walk, swim, and take in the local flavour
The Pance river has many entry points. Be sure you get to the right location. You can easily access the Pance river from the Cali-Jamundi highway, all the way up into the National Park that is just above the city of Pance. The way we see it, the higher you go the cleaner the water... One of the nicest places to enjoy the river and scene is at the EcoParque de la Salud. To access the Park, take Carrera 122 off of Cañas Gordas and keep driving. Goggle has not mapped the road but you will have no problem finding it. This link should help: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Cali,+Valle+del+Cauca/@3.3432866,-76.5408419,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8e30a643b69d2711:0x37dee5ad2745e3fb I suggest you stop or park at the second entrance. You will need COP 4,000 (M-Sa) and COP 6,000 (Su and Holidays) for secure parking. From there you cross the foot bridge and either turn left or right to walk the 4.25 KM loop. This is a great running spot with lots of shaded area for any-time-of-day runs. Half is a hill climb and half is down a nice slope. You decide direction. Lots of local footbal clubs and volunter organizations use the loop for exercise so you wont be alone. On the weekends you will encounter many large groups, or families setting up for the day with pots of Sancocho cooking over an open fire. You can bring your dog as well. Bring a leash as in busy spots you may want to have it under control. Bikes are not allowed. If you don't pack a snack, don't worry, there are lots of treats and fresh juices to purchase. Also, if you are not driving there are many options for local transport or you can easily hire a taxi from the corner of Cañas Gordas an 122 (also location of a grocery store if you need to get supplies) for the short trip to the river. Don't forget to bring your bathing suite - the water is very refreshing!

Day on the river
Pance river is a wonderful place to share with family and friends, the weather is hot and at the same time the water is cold. You can enjoy typical foods such as sancocho and also the typical mecato (snacks) such as solteritas, wafers, empanadas, manga biche and other delicacies. Walking along the river bank and a good dip is great fun.
