TECHNICAL MANUAL ATHLETICS

1. About this manual

Junior Pan American Games Cali - Valle 2021 as well as operational information that may be of

interest to participating teams.

2. Information about Cali and Valle del Cauca

Cali, officially the Special, Sports, Cultural, Tourist, Business and Services District of Santiago de Cali,

is a Colombian district, capital of the Valle del Cauca department and the third most populous city in

Colombia with 4,600,000 inhabitants in 2015. It is located in the southern region of Valle del Cauca,

geographically the City is located in the Valle del Río Cauca formed by the western mountain range

and the central mountain range of the Andean region, with an average height of 1,000 meters above

sea level.

It is the only major City in Colombia that has quick access to the Pacific Ocean, 114 km from

Buenaventura, the country's main port. It was founded on July 25, 1536 by Sebastián de Belalcázar,

which makes it one of the oldest Cities in America.

Valle del Cauca is one of the 32 departments that make up the Republic of Colombia and is the second

most populated department after Antioquia with 208 inhabitants/km².

The name of the department is taken from the Valle del Río Cauca or Valle Alto, between the central

and western mountain ranges, where the first Cities of the department were founded with an average

altitude of 1,561 masl.

The capital of the Valle del Cauca is a City that has tourist attractions with history, a very active

cultural life and musical rhythms that have made it famous worldwide.

The musical rhythms of Cali, thanks to its ethnic wealth, range from the currulao of the Pacific coast

to the great protagonist of the City: salsa, a contagious and frenetic rhythm that is part of the

country's culture and makes Cali internationally recognized as the “world capital of salsa”.

On the tour of the City, you can go to the banks of the Cali River to appreciate the architecture of

churches such as La Ermita and other colonial buildings that are authentic national monuments like

http://www.calivalle2021.com/

2

the Archaeological Museum La Merced and other emblems such as the Coltabaco building, the Jorge

Isaacs Theater and a modern banking area.

It is important to visit key points such as the Cali Zoo, the Granada neighborhood and the imposing

Cristo Rey, a statue similar to the Christ the Redeemer of Rio de Janeiro that watches over the City

from the Cerro de las Tres Cruces.

The museums are also part of the tourist sites of Cali: la Tertulia Museum of Modern Art, the Calima

Gold Museum and Caliwood are some of the best known.

In addition, the sugar cane that grows in the Valle del Cauca gives rise to a wide variety of sweets,

such as the white delicacy, the cocadas, the cholado and the champús, a rich drink made with corn,

lulo, pineapple, cinnamon and molasses of panela.

Of course, one of the best plans to do in Cali is to party, especially in the area of the Alameda

neighborhood, the historic center and the Obrero neighborhood, where the dance floors abound,

which with their unique atmosphere will vibrate each fiber of your body.

Without a doubt, one of the City's unique experiences is the Cali Fair, which is held in December to

say goodbye to the year to the rhythm of salsa. This impressive fair has the presence of great artists

of this genre who meet every December 25 at the traditional Salsódromo de Cali. In addition, the fair

is completed with cultural and sports events.

Other important celebrations are the Petronio Álvarez Pacific Music Festival, which takes place in

August, and the World Salsa Festival.

To learn how to dance salsa, Cali is the ideal tourist destination. Although it may seem difficult to

learn because of the speed and coordination of movements, in Cali there are many plans to

internalize some steps in academies and schools.

Another good plan is to know the nature of the surroundings and visit the Hacienda El Paraíso, where

María, one of the most remembered love stories in Latin American literature, written by the immortal

Jorge Isaacs, takes place.

On Sundays, many people from Cali move to rivers such as the Pance, to cool off and spend a quiet

day of leisure. Walking upstream, you reach the Farallones Foundation camp, where there is a hostel

and guides to get to know the Park.

The vallecaucano has dancing in his blood. Dance is his passion and its roots go back to the time of

slavery, the Pacific area is diverse in its cultural and folk expressions that are still preserved due to

the concern of the natives to cultivate their popular traditions.

3

Their music goes back to the pellejos dances, so called because the drums, that were the life of the

parties, were made with the skins of the animals. Among its native instruments is the guasá, the

marimba, the cununo and the bombo or tambora, which are used to perform dances such as the

currulao, the best known of the coast.

In the center and north of the Valle, tropical orchestral music predominates, and the best known

worldwide is salsa, with the greatest exponents of the genre characteristic of West Indian countries

such as Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The origin of the Pacific folklore is mostly

African, although it has a Spanish part, since the slaves, once the festivities of their Spanish masters

ended, made fun of them.

The adobe walls, the floor made of large bricks and the musty smell reveal some of the secrets that

are kept in a dozen old farms that survive in El Cerrito. Two of them have marked for centuries the

history of hundreds of vallecaucanos that have become true cultural, historical and tourist icons: El

Paraíso and Piedechinche.

Currency

Colombia's currency is the Colombian peso (COP).

Language

The official language is Spanish. In addition, more than 60 indigenous and Creole languages are

spoken in the country.

3. Pana, Cali - Valle 2021 official character

Pana

Cusumbo or coati (Nasua nasua)

What better word to describe exceptional youth, that spirit of seeking greatness in small actions, that

constant struggle to claim their ability to persist, not give up, to do wonderful things. It was that

young spirit that inspired us to choose the official character of the I Junior Pan American Games Cali

- Valle 2021 after selecting her from more than 100 proposals.

This is how “Pana” was born, a small but exceptional mammal that lives from the south of the United

States to the north of Argentina, covering the entire American continent with different names, but

always being the same.

"Pana" is an expert swimmer and climber, rules both dry and humid forests, nothing stops it. Its body

is designed to be a stealthy and persistent athlete, a complete champion of nature.

4

It is also very sociable, it lives in groups of up to 30 individuals. Its home is the Valle del Cauca, in

specific a burrow that it built with a dedication, where its recharges each night to shine during day.

Its name was brought up from a Colombian expression that denotes friendship, companionship,

team, fraternity, a bond from the heart. At the same time it is a tribute to the Pan American family,

of which “Pana” is its son.

It represents therefore the exceptional, the greatness of the small beings, the effort and work to

accomplish their objectives. It also represents the unusual, the claim of simpliCity of bringing inside

force.

We would like to introduce to you “Pana”, everyone´s partner in this I Junior Pan American Games

Cali - Valle 2021, a friend that shows that kilometers are not enough to distance us, that we will always

have something in common. That from the Arctic to Antarctic we are a single continent, where youth

will meet in 2021 in a City and department that are ready to give our #AllForYou.
