Los Gatos - City Walk Cali - Colombia

In 1996, renowned painter and sculptor Hernando Tejada began what came to be a collection of a dozen cat sculptures along the Cali River, close to El Peñón. Tejada’s original cat, “El Gato del Río,” is the largest of the collection. The subsequent cats are half its size but some have twice the charisma. These latter felines were painted by other significant Colombian artists and are all decorated to match. Examples include “Magic Cat,” “Coquette Cat” and “Seven Lives Cat.” This is a great place to stroll along the river and to appreciate some interesting modern Colombian art.
