San Antonio

San Antonio is Cali's most charming barrio: a colonial hilltop of narrow cobbled streets, painted houses, cafés, galleries and the 18th-century Iglesia de San Antonio, whose hilltop park offers panoramic views over the city. Bohemian and boutique, it draws creatives, tourists and a lively café-and-music evening scene, and is among the city's safer, most walkable neighbourhoods. For investors, San Antonio is Cali's heritage-charm and short-let play: colonial character, café culture and tourism demand drive strong gross yields of ~6–7.5% on scarce restored stock, with restoration the classic value-add. Colombia's fully open foreign-ownership regime and the real-estate Migrant (M) visa keep acquisition simple, with transactions in Colombian pesos and currency exposure the key variable.
