Santiago de Cali, or Cali, is the capital city of the Valle de Cauca department in southwest Colombia. The city is the third largest in Colombia, with a population of just under 2.5 million. According to a 2016 World Population Review report. Cali’s economic is sustained by rubber, tourism, chemicals, paper, furniture, sugar, and biofuel and agribusiness industries. It has also been dubbed as "Colombia’s Salsa Capital". Regardless of its booming economy, it ranks as among the world's most dangerous cities. In 2012, the city saw 1861 homicides, resulting in a rate of 81.1 per 100,000 people. Drug trafficking and gang-related violence have both been cited as causes of Cali's high crime rate, although the city is nonetheless gaining popularity as a tourist destination.

Acapulco is ranked too and still is the home of Anarchopulco.
The best way to tell if places are like the stats say is by traveling there.
Personally, I would rather go to Cali than to most middle-east cities.
