Colombia's Nightlife Scene

Colombia has one of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in South America. Cali is the undisputed salsa capital of the world — its bars and clubs play caleño-style salsa seven nights a week. Medellín's El Poblado neighborhood is packed with rooftop bars and clubs that fill up after midnight. Bogotá's Chapinero district is the most eclectic, ranging from dive bars to multi-floor clubs like Theatron.
