Comuna 20, Administrative district in western Cali, Colombia
Comuna 20 is an administrative district in western Cali that spreads across terrain shaped by the Farallones mountains, Cerro Cristo Rey, and Cerro Bataclan. The area contains multiple neighborhoods and residential developments arranged across different elevations.
The earliest neighborhoods of Belén, Siloé, and Pueblo Joven were established during the initial settlement of the area. Siloé developed notably near coal extraction operations that influenced the economic growth of this section.
The neighborhood shows strong community bonds through local centers where residents regularly gather to share talents and organize events together. These public spaces serve as meeting points where people from different blocks connect and celebrate their shared life.
The district divides into lower and upper sections across different elevations, which helps with navigation and understanding the layout. The hilly terrain requires sturdy footwear and physical preparation when exploring neighborhoods on foot.
Several neighborhoods sit at higher elevations with direct access to the Farallones mountains that mark the western edge of the city. From these vantage points, visitors can see the urban landscape below and explore the mountain terrain.
