To complete the experience, we will make several gastronomic stops where you can taste the delicious typical local food.

Cholado: Dessert based on ice cream, fruit and condensed milk. Shampoo: Traditional drink made from fermented corn.
Then, we will head to the Plaza de Cayzedo, a public space full of life where you can enjoy colonial architecture and the company of the locals.
We will explore the Cali Viejo neighborhood, a historic neighborhood that retains its old charm. Here you will find colonial houses, cobblestone streets and an atmosphere full of nostalgia.
We will finish our tour at the Church of San Antonio, a beautiful religious temple that is one of the symbols of the city. Its colonial architecture and rich history make it a place of great cultural value.

About Cali
Cali, in Colombia's Valle del Cauca, is the country's salsa capital, a warm city of river parks, hill viewpoints and sugar-cane plains.
Cali lies in the wide valley of the Cauca River, with the Western Andes rising to the west. The Cali River runs through the middle of town, and the colonial San Antonio neighbourhood on its hill is full of small cafés and craft shops around a white chapel. La Ermita, a Gothic-style church beside the river, and the Cristo Rey statue on a western ridge are landmarks.
Top-ranked sights in Cali: La Merced Church Museum (Iglesia de la Merced), National Palace, Metropolitan Cathedral.
