Overview of the tour in Cali

From “Loma de la Cruz '' we'll walk towards Alameda Market crossing two local neighborhoods in order to try the local homemade food like Champús and Cucas done by “caleñas”. This is the best start so you understand how important our identity is through our gastronomy.

Among afro preparations and European flavors, get a glimpse into the local culture and way of life. The market is home to hundreds of vendors selling everything from fresh produce to clothing, handicrafts, and household items.

Taste traditional food from the Pacific and toast with Viche, our amazing alcoholic beverage! This experience brings you closer to the flavors, colors, textures, and regional gastronomic preparations, which are loaded with symbols and meanings, as they reveal social relations, popular imaginaries, and the use of the environment.

This activity includes:

  • Galería Alameda
  • History and origins of our regional gastronomy
  • Cultural influences from local races
  • Unique and useful food preparations
  • Ancestral ingredients and traditional techniques of the region.
  • The food market as a core of economic survival
  • Biological, geographical and cultural diversity of Valle del Cauca
  • Sweet, salty, oily, spicy and vigorous food
