Cali: Flavors and Secrets Walking Tour with Drinks

Discover Cali's history and culture on a walking tour with local drinks. Taste lulada, champús, and more as you explore the city's landmarks and uncover its secrets.
Begin near the beautiful Iglesia de San Antonio, where you’ll uncover the lesser-known story of Cali’s founding in 1536 — a modest and isolated town that had to reinvent itself to survive. Here, you’ll understand how Indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-descendant influences blended to create the foundations of the city’s cultural richness.

As you walk toward the historic center and the traditional Plaza de Cayzedo, discover the economic force of sugarcane, the migrations from Colombia’s Pacific coast, and how these movements reshaped the city’s rhythm, flavor, and character.

Uncover essential Cali secrets, including the story of Caliwood Museo de la Cinematografía and why Cali became known as “Caliwood,” a city with one of the most influential independent film movements in Latin America. Hear the legend of Jovita Feijóo, an unforgettable local character who redefined identity, joy, and social boundaries in the city.

Learn why Cali is recognized as Colombia’s sports capital, host of major international sporting events and home to a culture deeply connected to athletic excellence. Discover the city’s extraordinary natural wealth — from the Farallones mountains that embrace it to the rivers that cross it — shaping both its biodiversity and lifestyle.

Throughout the experience, taste authentic local street beverages that embody these stories. Try freshly prepared Lulada, Cali’s most iconic fruit drink, Champús, an ancestral beverage with Afro-Colombian and Indigenous roots, Guarapo de caña, connected to the region’s powerful sugar industry, and Chontaduro with honey, lime, and salt, the beloved energy fruit of the Pacific.

Each tasting opens a new chapter: migration, resilience, creativity, resistance, and celebration. Explore a powerful and often misunderstood period of Cali’s history — the decades of global stigma — and how, despite challenges, the city continued producing culture, cinema, music, and world-class athletes. While headlines told one story, the streets were telling another.

Conclude at a local partner bar in the city center with a signature cocktail: a Lulada with viche, an ancestral Pacific spirit once marginalized and now recognized as a symbol of Afro-Colombian heritage and cultural resistance.
