⭐ Free Cultural and Historical Tour of Cali
Tour description
Welcome to Colombia and Cali, the world capital of salsa and flavor!
Let's start with a question: would you like to learn about the "caleña" culture and understand the transformation it has had in the last 20 years to be called the "world capital of salsa" ?
Tour the historic center of Cali with your guides from Beyond Colombia so that you can understand the importance of the cultural legacy that our 3 ethnic groups have left in us, learning about the characteristics of our gastronomy, local slang and the songs of the Pacific.
We will start from the La Merced Church passing by the Calima Gold Museum, to understand the historical starting point where the city of Santiago de Cali originated and whose socioeconomic development since the 17th century explains the modern dynamics that make visible the current impact of a diverse culture in customs and expressions.
We will cross the most important squares in Cali such as:
- The River Boulevard
- San Francisco Square
- Cayzedo Square
- Jairo Varela
We will also visit the architectural icons of Cali such as:
- The Hermitage
- The Municipal Theatre
- St. Peter's Cathedral
- Jorge Isaacs Theater
- Ortiz Bridge, among others.
We will show you both sides of the coin: we will talk about the importance of football and Salsa in our society, but also about the impact, incidence and consequences of drug trafficking in our daily lives.
At the end of the tour you will know the root of our essence, you will identify the culture of the Cauca Valley from gastronomy to the revolutionary behavior that we carry in our blood thanks to our history and anti-cultural resistance movements.
Our goal is for you to take a little piece of our Cali flavor with you so that you can see and recommend Cali from a more real , complete and objective perspective.
Join , learn and dance to the rhythm of the Sultana del Valle!
