How to use the map of Cali
Explore land classification, activity areas, planning treatments, construction indices and planning units through official IDESC services. Compare flood, wetland, protected-area, heritage and mobility context from Cali’s land-use plan. Separately explore project areas registered in ANLA’s monitoring layer as an environmental reference independent of the land-use plan.

Locate an area and understand its identifiers
Locate an area by coordinates or general address and place search; a match does not identify or certify a parcel. Explore its layers and published attributes. Official NPN searches and land-use opinions are provided by the municipal portal. The independent ANLA project query shows areas and attributes published by the Autoridad Nacional de Licencias Ambientales (ANLA), retaining its attribution. The prepared example opens record objectid 1747 for file LAM5950; 29 November 2018 is the published act date, not a mapping update. This is not land-use zoning and establishes neither current legal validity of permits, operating status nor a complete municipal inventory. One file may have several areas and acts: records are not unique projects, and their areas must not be summed as affected municipal land. The source declares neither a mapping scale nor a dataset-wide date, and the item declares no specific reuse licence. Queries are limited to 500 records and 2 MiB; results depend on the queried area and may be partial. Consult the official ANLA links and confirm the file and its acts.
Cali uses the 30-digit National Parcel Number (NPN); municipal services also distinguish the parcel identifier and local parcel number. GeoSAT does not convert these identifiers to Medellín’s CBML or provide cadastral NPN search in Cali. The spatial land query shows geometry records without parcel attributes; it does not identify a unique parcel. Use the official land-use service to consult an NPN.
Use Explore to search and choose queries, Layers to enable and inspect sources, and Thematic maps to compare categories. Under Layers, “Tools and planning register” opens Tools; “Inspect and export results” opens received attributes and results.
In Tools, “Reported planning instruments” lets you inspect municipal acts and their statuses in the national register. Select “Look up national register” to load this city’s records. Instrument status and long-term validity are separate fields; the register may be outdated and does not certify parcel rules. Links open the IGAC source, ColombiaOT and the source linked for this municipality; they do not open an act PDF directly.
Your first query
Central Cali · latitude, longitude: 3.4516, -76.532
- Open the example to load the first planning layer at this location. Enter these coordinates in search to return to the area.
- Inspect the layer categories and select a feature to read its attributes. Zoom in if the layer indicates a minimum query scale.
- Enable another layer in the theme to compare boundaries. Map overlap does not constitute an official planning opinion for a parcel.
Compare planning with orthophotos captured on 2022-11-30: urban 10 cm and rural 20 cm. Their footprints are partial; imagery is a visual reference, not a parcel boundary or proof of current conditions or legal validity. View urban and rural aerial orthophoto · 10/20 cm ↗

Land and urban planning
Open the prepared query, mark a point and compare results by layer.
Query planning and land use →Query planning and land use at a point
Locate an area and read matching polygons from the integrated layers together. The record retains their codes, attributes, sources and dates; unknown values remain unreported.
- Open the viewer and choose the planning query.
- Mark a point on the map or query its center. Pan the map to inspect another area.
- Compare findings by layer and open their sources. A layer with no matches, awaiting integration or unavailable does not establish an absence of rules.
This is a mapping query by location, not an address search or a legal report. It confirms neither legal validity, permits nor authorized activities; cross-check applicable documents and administrative acts.

Interpret results before sharing
- Read each layer and record’s source and date. Retrieval time shows when the response was received; it does not establish a data update or legal validity.
- Check statuses: an unavailable source or a query without results does not establish that no conditions apply. If a partial-result notice appears, zoom in and repeat the query within a smaller area.
- Filters, thematic maps and statistics describe received records. Do not add overlapping polygons or turn a partial count into a city total.
- Share the public view or export results with their source and date. Measurements are approximate; imported files remain in your browser and are excluded from shared links.
Sources, dates and limits
Each source’s verification date appears in the table. Retrieval time is not the data update date. Small city-wide layers use the full extent; larger layers depend on the visible area. Reference publications retain their original retrieval date. Each page contains up to 500 features: up to 2 MiB for external services and 4 MiB for local publications. Reference publications load matching pages, up to 5,000 features and 8 MiB per query. External services may return partial samples, identified in the viewer.

Do not add their areas or interpret results as a municipal count. Published categories: 0 department, 1 municipality, 2 district, 3 uncategorized; other codes are retained without a verified definition. Territorial codes remain text; they are not parcel identifiers. Depto and the legal reference are source attributes, not certification of administrative hierarchy or legal validity.

SIPRA warns against use for financial, credit or parcel-planning decisions. The metadata linked by SIPRA is titled June 2025 but lists creation on 2026-03-22 and publication/revision on 2025-05-29: no dataset-wide date is assigned. The methodology aggregates patches larger than 25 ha within 100 m and fills holes smaller than 25 ha. The viewer also generalizes geometry by zoom and rounds coordinates; do not measure areas or settle boundaries with it. Queried polygons may include neighboring municipalities and are not a complete municipal inventory. Empty results do not establish absence of restrictions. Department names and codes remain as published, without validating administrative hierarchy; municipal codes do not identify parcels.

The series is preliminary and subject to revision. The sum covers reported segments; operator internal use and additional corporate accesses (117) are included when reported and shown separately. Accesses do not equal people, homes or unique subscribers. The municipal boundary locates the statistic; it does not describe the network or guarantee service at an address. A segment without a reported record is not treated as zero.

Data load: 23 February 2024; not current connectivity. GeoSAT sums reported accesses by municipality and segment, without counting rows as subscribers. The total includes corporate, residential strata 1–6, unclassified and operator internal-use segments. A category with no rows contributes zero only to this published aggregate: it does not establish absence of service. These are accesses, not people, unique households, speed, quality or availability at an address. No penetration rate or population denominator is calculated. The outdated catalog description mentions 2015–2019; this query’s quarter comes from verified rows. The IGAC polygon represents the whole municipality, not the network or its coverage: moving the map does not allocate accesses to neighborhoods or parcels. Current reference geometry generalized to approximately 0.00017 degrees and six decimals, without reconstructing 2023 boundaries; unsuitable for areas or densities.

This is a census approximation: five dimensions and 15 deprivation indicators defined at household level, with a weighted threshold of 33.3%. The source refers to actually censused private households and recommends considering census omission. The published percentage is retained without inferring numbers of people or households or recalculating denominators. It is neither current poverty nor an annual series comparable with the Quality of Life Survey IPM or Medellín’s local series. Do not sum or average municipalities to obtain department or national incidence. The current municipal reference polygon neither reconstructs 2018 boundaries nor allocates the value to neighborhoods or parcels. The technical publication is dated 31 January 2020; the retrieval date does not update the census. DANE data and GeoSAT adaptation CC BY 4.0; IGAC geometry CC BY 4.0.

The official layer’s categories with and without water supply service are preserved. Their sum is shown as dwellings classified in this publication; people, households, subscribers and all properties are not used as denominators. No rate is calculated and missing values are not replaced with zero. These are 2018 census responses, not current coverage, continuity, water quality or availability at an address. The IGAC polygon identifies the entire municipality: it does not map pipes or allocate dwellings to neighborhoods or parcels.

Each service retains its with/without counts and its own sum: electricity, sewerage, natural gas connected to the public network, and fixed or mobile internet. Bases differ; no common base is used and services are not added as unique dwellings. The gas layer only provides with/without counts although its dictionary allows “Not reported”; that category is not reconstructed by subtraction. No rates are calculated and nulls are not replaced with zero. These are historical census responses, without current address-level availability, quality or continuity. Dwellings with internet are not the accesses reported by operators to MinTIC.

Records may distinguish carriageways. Original territory names are retained; inconsistencies include department “Anual” for Cartagena and Cundinamarca for Bogotá. Do not use these fields to validate administrative boundaries. The catalog reports a data load on 2024-09-18 and a metadata change on 2026-05-18, without observation dates per bridge. Infrastructure records within the query area, including neighbors; not a complete municipal inventory or a navigation system. The sources do not provide a status that separates planned, under-construction and operational assets: a point does not establish completed or available infrastructure.

| Registered toll stations · INVÍASInstituto Nacional de Vías · INVÍAS; adapted by GeoSAT Uses the point geometry published by INVÍAS: the separate latitude/longitude columns contain zeros or discrepancies in many records. Administrator codes in the dictionary: 1 INVÍAS, 2 ANI, 3 Department, 4 Municipality and 5 District; these do not identify the contractual operator. Some toll stations have no code. Road sections also contain inconsistencies: BAZURTO (MANGA), located in Cartagena, is listed under “Puente Nacional - San Gil”. The published value is retained; do not use it to validate a route. The catalog reports a data load on 2026-09-19, without verification dates per station. Rates and phone numbers are omitted. Infrastructure records within the query area, including neighbors; not a complete municipal inventory or a navigation system. The sources do not provide a status that separates planned, under-construction and operational assets: a point does not establish completed or available infrastructure. No live traffic, closures, accessibility or current toll rates are included. Technical identifiers distinguish source rows, not parcels or unique assets.

| Population aged 5–16 · MEN / DANEMinistry of National Education · DANE projections; IGAC geometry; adapted by GeoSAT DANE projected population aged 5–16, published by MEN for the whole municipality in 2011–2024. Estimated people, not enrollment, school places, measured school demand or internet availability. Copy retrieved on 5 October 2026 (Colombia); the catalog data load is dated 13 November 2025, not a single DANE release. The source does not document a uniform census basis across the series: differences between years may include methodological revisions and must not be attributed solely to demographic change. No rate or denominator is calculated. Codes are padded to five digits and unambiguous thousands separators in 2021 counts are normalized; original values remain in the reference publication. All 14 verified annual values for 2011–2024 are shown. Joined by code to the IGAC reference polygon: historical boundaries are not reconstructed and people are not allocated to neighborhoods or parcels. Geometry generalized by the service to approximately 0.000172 degrees and six decimal places; unsuitable for measurements or densities.

| Net and gross enrollment rates · MENMinistry of National Education; IGAC geometry; adapted by GeoSAT Historical municipal enrollment rates published by MEN for 2011–2024, retained as percentages without recalculating denominators or capping values at 100. They do not measure school places, available capacity or school operation. Missing data remain without a value and are not replaced with zero. The source does not document a uniform population-projection edition across the series: changes can include methodological revisions. Differences are expressed in percentage points. The retrieval date does not update the indicator year. The polygon represents the whole municipality, not its distribution by neighborhoods or parcels. Rates and GeoSAT adaptation CC BY-SA 4.0; IGAC mapping CC BY 4.0. Reference geometry generalized by the service to approximately 0.000172 degrees and six decimal places. The reference boundary does not reconstruct each year’s boundaries and is unsuitable for measuring areas or densities.

| IPS sites by legal nature · REPSMinistry of Health and Social Protection · REPS; IGAC geometry; counted and adapted by GeoSAT GeoSAT count of distinct site habilitation codes in REPS, restricted to the healthcare institutions (IPS) class and grouped by site municipality and legal nature. Published cutoff: 12 March 2026; catalog data load: 17 April 2026; copy retrieved: 6 October 2026. The table also includes independent practitioners and other classes, which are excluded. These are registered sites, not unique institutions, hospitals, beds, available capacity, appointments or certification of current operation. No rate or denominator is used. An absent category is counted as zero only within the complete queried aggregate. No site locations are provided: the IGAC polygon represents the whole municipality; moving the map does not change the count or allocate it to neighborhoods. Reference geometry generalized to approximately 0.000172 degrees and six decimals, mapping date undeclared; unsuitable for area measurements or densities. No personal names, IDs, addresses or contacts are published. MinSalud data and GeoSAT adaptation CC BY-SA 4.0; IGAC geometry CC BY 4.0. Consult REPS to verify a specific provider.

| Published mining-title file codes · RUCOMNational Mining Agency · RUCOM; IGAC geometry; counted and adapted by GeoSAT GeoSAT count of distinct file codes associated with the municipality in ANM’s RUCOM mining-title publication. Copy retrieved on 6 October 2026; catalog data load: 18 March 2026, with no record cutoff date. Rows can repeat file codes by mineral or other attributes: each code is counted once per municipality. Do not sum municipalities to obtain a national total. This is not the complete mining-title cadastre, an inventory of operating mines or a production measurement. Inclusion in this copy does not certify current legal status, environmental authorizations or activity: verify the official file and RUCOM. Original mineral labels, including spelling variants, are retained; they are not a standardized classification. Holder names, personal IDs and contact details are excluded. No mining geometries are provided: the IGAC polygon identifies the whole municipality, not a title, plant or extraction area; moving the map does not allocate the count. Reference generalized to approximately 0.000172 degrees and six decimals, mapping date undeclared; unsuitable for area measurements or densities.

| Registered project areas · ANLAAutoridad Nacional de Licencias Ambientales · ANLA Project areas published by ANLA in its “Seguimiento” group, not a municipal land-use plan, parcels, alerts or a current risk assessment. Each geometry is a record: one file may have several areas and acts; do not count records as unique projects or sum their areas as affected municipal land. fec_act_ad is the published act date, not a mapping update, current legal validity or operating status. The source declares neither a mapping scale nor a dataset-wide date. The public item credits ANLA but declares no specific reuse licence; consult the official terms and links without assuming a CC licence. Received EPSG:4326 geometry, transformed by the service from EPSG:4686, is retained without clipping, simplification or additional rounding. Query-window intersections may include areas outside the municipality. Queries are limited to 500 records and 2 MiB; partial, empty or failed responses do not establish the absence of projects or restrictions. Sector retains its official domain code: 101 Hidrocarburos, 102 Infraestructura, 103 Minería, 104 Energía, 105 Agroquímicos, 106 Proyectos Especiales. Notes reproduce historical published text; spaces or null values are missing information, not permissions or absence of restrictions. Confirm the file and applicable acts with ANLA.
