Location |
| |
The
Universidad del Valle has its central campus
in Cali, the capital of the State of Valle
del Cauca, one of the regions of greater
industrial development in Colombia, well
known for its sugar cane exporting capacity
to the international markets. It is a region
of fertile lands and fine agricultural enterprises.
Cali is situated in the tropical zone and
has a moderate climate due to fresh air
coming from the Andean Mountain Range and
because of its proximity to the Pacific
Ocean. It is an urban center of around two
million people, who live in a cosmopolitan
atmosphere.
The
city was founded by the Spanish conqueror
Don Sebastian de Belalcázar, four
houndred and sixty one years ago and has
been chosen as the meeting place of several
scientific and sporting events at the international
level. Furthermore, in Cali there are a
great number of mulinational industries,
converting this region into one of the most
developed zones of the country in technological,
academic and scientific areas.

The
Republic
of Colombia:
Maybe the greatest wealth of Colombia is
its variety in very different landscapes,
and its great mixture of human races. In
Colombia you can find any type of climate
from the wettest tropical forest on the
earth, over boiling hot coast areas, salt
and sand deserts, and highlands, to eternal
ice (be prepared on your trips for important
temperature changes!). Colombia occupies
the second place (behind Brazil) in amount
of vegetal species in the world (some 49'000!)
- it's true that nature in Colombia seems
to do everything possible to boast with
its great variety, no matter how small the
area! Some 20% of all bird species are found
here. In Colombia you can also find any
kind of the human races (only Asian people
are relatively rare): mainly black people
on the coast line, mainly white in Medellin,
Indians in the highlands, and any shadings
of these in towns like Cali.
Some
say that if you want to see South America,
but you only have little time, go to Colombia,
because it's kind of a melting pot, that
unites all the different characteristics
of the other countries! |

Multicampus System |
| |
At
present the University is a multicampus
system, having two campuses in the city
of Cali and eight branch campuses in other
cities of the State of Valle del Cauca.
The location of these branch campuses in
different parts of the region allows a direct
response to regional needs. With this regional
dimension, the University has a global vision
of the problems that affect the development
of the region and can offer valid and appropriate
solutions to those problems, in the sphere
of higher education.
