Comuna 22, Administrative district in southern Cali, Colombia
Comuna 22 is an administrative district at the southern edge of Cali that stretches from Comuna 17 in the north to Pance district in the south and west. The area is shaped by private universities and connects to the rest of the city through two main roads, Avenida Cañasgordas and Avenida Pasoancho.
Hacienda Cañasgordas in this district served as a key meeting place in 1810 where Cali's independence declaration was organized. This historical event tied the location to the early beginnings of Colombia's independence movement.
Several major private universities, including Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and Universidad ICESI, shape this district as an education hub for the city. Student life fills the streets and defines how people move through and use the neighborhood today.
This district is best explored on foot or by local MIO buses that serve university areas and main roads. The two main access roads help visitors get oriented and reach the area from other parts of the city.
This district ranks among Colombia's most expensive residential areas, with property values among the highest in the region. These elevated prices reflect the demand for housing near the established universities.
