Our regional capital has a huge enthusiasm for Paintball. Evidence of this is the large number of establishments spread throughout the city where you can engage in a fun battle to see which team gets defeated and more painted. Although it is more popular among young people, there are also kid-friendly versions in Cali for Kids. Therefore, we recommend it on this day marking the end of school holidays in Cali (if you want to spend a fun, different time with your kids). Or if the battle is among adults and you don’t want to stray too far from our hotels, there is a playfield quite close to us that you can check out at this link.
