Itinerary
As the sun sets over Cali, we will meet at La Colina, an iconic bar in the heart of San Antonio. This bohemian corner is the ideal starting point for breaking the ice, sharing delicious local piqueos and immersing yourself in the salty atmosphere. Between interactive dynamics and early dance steps, you’ll feel part of a group that vibrates with the music and energy of the night. To kick off the party, you’ll enjoy a complimentary schnapps shot and special discounts on Poker beer.
From San Antonio, we continue to the legendary Calle de la Salsa, where the salsa scene is reinvented every night. In this second bar, we will witness how Caleña salsa evolves with new styles, innovative proposals and unique themes that make each visit a different experience. Here, the dance becomes more intense, the energy rises and the connection with the local culture is felt at every step. To make the experience even better, you’ll have beer discounts on your first purchase.
The Calle del Sabor is one of the most authentic expressions of the local salsa culture. Every Friday night, a street in Cali’s historic center, next to the River Boulevard, is transformed into a large outdoor dance floor where locals and visitors gather to enjoy salsa, live percussion and the characteristic atmosphere of the Salsa Capital of the World. More than a disco, it is a popular and spontaneous party where it is common to see melomaniacs, dancers and musicians sharing a passion for salsa. Between food stalls, beer and hundreds of people singing and dancing, you will live a genuinely local experience that reflects the energy and joy of the city. Calle del Sabor is one of the favorite places and a unique opportunity to connect with the local culture and enjoy the festive atmosphere that makes the city famous.
MalaMaña Salsa Bar is one of the best kept secrets of the local night and an emblematic place for those who seek to live the sauce as the locals enjoy it. Located in the traditional center, this cozy club retains the essence of Cali’s rumba brava, with an always lively track, excellent musical selections and occasional live performances. Frequented by both locals and travelers from all over the world, MalaMaña offers an authentic and unpretentious experience, where beginners and experienced dancers share a passion for salsa.

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.
