The Cementerio Metropolitano del Sur isn’t just any cemetery. It’s a place where Cali remembers. It’s a sprawling tapestry of life stories woven into the very fabric of the city. Imagine a sea of marigolds, their vibrant orange a stark contrast against the solemn grey of tombs. This is Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, when families gather at the Cementerio Metropolitano del Sur to celebrate the lives of those they’ve loved and lost.
