Weather
Cali is a tropical savanna city around 1,000 m above sea level, warm and fairly humid all year. November sits in the second wet season (September to November): expect daytime highs near 28-30 C, overnight lows around 19-20 C and short, intense afternoon or evening showers rather than all-day rain. Sun protection matters even on cloudy days. Treat these as climatological bands and check the live forecast in the week before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Colombia's main mobile networks are Claro, Movistar and Tigo, with 4G coverage across urban Cali and 5G rollout still limited. Visitors can buy a prepaid SIM with a passport at operator stores in shopping centres, or use an eSIM data plan before arrival. Venue Wi-Fi is usually provided for delegates but should not be assumed for instrument demos or streaming; confirm with the organiser if you need dedicated connectivity on a stand.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language
Colombian Spanish is the working language of the congress and of most business meetings. English is common among laboratory suppliers and younger researchers, but a few prepared Spanish phrases and Spanish-language product sheets go a long way.
Salsa and city rhythm
Cali is known as the salsa capital of Colombia, with dance schools, live venues and the Petronio Álvarez festival culture. Evenings in Granada and San Antonio mix restaurants, music and street food, and delegates often continue conversations over dinner rather than in the exhibition hall.
Money and payments
The currency is the Colombian peso (COP). Cards are accepted in hotels, chain restaurants and larger shops, but small laboratories, taxis, market stalls and local buses run on cash. Change from large notes can be difficult, so keep small COP denominations.
Business etiquette
Introductions are personal and warm: a handshake with eye contact, a short exchange about your laboratory and your city, then business. Colleagues address each other by first name in most scientific settings, and titles such as doctor are used for physicians and senior academics. Punctuality is expected for sessions, though social events start loosely.
Food and hours
Lunch is the main hot meal, usually between 12:30 and 14:30, and many restaurants close mid-afternoon. Expect tropical fruit juices, arepas, plantain and Pacific-coast seafood. Vegetarian options exist in Granada and El Peñón but are thinner in traditional lunch spots.
Tipping
Restaurants usually add a voluntary 10% propina to the bill; check whether it is already included before adding more. Taxi drivers are not normally tipped, and hotel porters appreciate a small cash amount in COP.
Safety and getting around
Cali is a large city with areas that vary block by block. Use licensed taxis or ride-hailing apps at night, keep phones out of sight on the street, avoid unlit side streets, and take the standard precautions you would in any major Latin American city. Hotel reception can advise on which districts are comfortable on foot after dark.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: CLO
Cali is reached through Alfonso Bonilla Aragón (CLO), with long-haul itineraries connecting at Bogotá (BOG), Panama City (PTY) or Miami (MIA). Sample economy fares captured for the congress dates: London (LHR) to CLO from about COP 3,697,477 return via Toronto and Bogotá, New York (JFK) to CLO from about COP 1,668,668 return via Panama City or Bogotá, including taxes for one adult. Fares on these routes move quickly and the cheapest options carry long layovers, so compare total journey time against a higher-priced itinerary with a protected connection. Book the domestic BOG-CLO leg on the same ticket where possible, and allow at least 3 hours at BOG on a self-transfer.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO): Approx. 30-45 minutes to Granada, El Peñón or central Cali depending on traffic; El Dorado International Airport (BOG): Approx. 1 hour 10 minutes by air to CLO, plus connection time. Allow road or rail time to Cali, Colombia; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Most delegates stay in Granada, El Peñón, San Antonio or Ciudad Jardín and reach the congress venue by short taxi or ride-hailing trips of roughly 10-20 minutes, costing about COP 10,000-25,000 depending on the district and traffic. MIO buses cover the main corridors for around COP 3,000-3,600 per journey with a Tarjeta MIO card. Airport-area hotels in Palmaseca add 30-45 minutes each way. Confirm the venue address on congresocnb.com before fixing your hotel, since Cali congress venues sit in different parts of the city.
Ride-hail: Uber, DiDi and inDrive operate in Cali, with app quotes typically cheaper than airport taxi counters for the same trip. Pick up at the designated rideshare zone at Alfonso Bonilla Aragón (CLO), match the plate number before getting in, and pay through the app where possible. Availability is good in Granada, El Peñón, San Antonio and the northern business districts, thinner late at night in peripheral neighbourhoods. Confirm the pickup point with your hotel on the first evening and avoid hailing unmarked cars on the street.
Public transit: Cali's public transport is the MIO bus rapid transit system operated by Metro Cali S.A., with mainline articulated buses on dedicated lanes, feeder buses from neighbourhoods, and the MíO Cable gondola connecting Siloé to the system. There is no metro rail. Journeys cost approximately COP 3,000-3,600 per trip with a rechargeable Tarjeta MIO card, and route planning is available on the official finder at metrocali.gov.co/busca-rutas-mio, with third-party apps such as Moovit also covering the network. Buses are busy at peak hours; allow extra time when travelling to the venue with a laptop or luggage.
Parking: Parking depends on the congress venue, since Cali event spaces range from purpose-built fairgrounds with large on-site lots to hotel conference centres with limited basement parking. Expect paid commercial parking in the venue district at roughly COP 5,000-12,000 per hour or COP 25,000-50,000 per day, and confirm delegate parking, height restrictions and security with the organiser before driving. Hotel garages in Granada, El Peñón and Ciudad Jardín usually charge nightly and should be reserved with the room.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026
Temperature: Approx. 19-30 C: daytime highs around 28-30 C and overnight lows near 19-20 C, with high humidity through the day
Seasonality: November falls in Cali's second wet season (September to November). Rain typically arrives as short, heavy afternoon or evening showers rather than steady all-day drizzle, with sunny, humid mornings in between. Check the live forecast in the final week before travel.
Packing: Pack light, breathable business-casual clothing for warm humid days and a compact umbrella or light rain shell for afternoon showers. Bring comfortable walking shoes that cope with wet pavements, a light layer for heavily air-conditioned session rooms, sun protection for midday, and a reusable water bottle. Lab visitors who plan site tours should also check whether closed shoes and a lab coat are required.
