In Medellín, the city is returning to normal after the Feria de las Flores and the 69th Desfile de Silleteros. Cali is the focus this week, with the Petronio's main program running from Wednesday to Monday, including music competition and traditional expression showcases.
Buenos Aires will open a new Otello at the Teatro Colón on August 14, which sells out to subscribers first. The US keeps Colombia at Level 3, Reconsider Travel, except for Cali.
