Description

Description

We will gather at our meeting point to start this Historical Downtown Cali Free Tour. Cali is the third most populated city and the third economic center of Colombia, and it is one of the cities with the greatest ethnic diversity in the country, the so-called “La Sucursal del Cielo” (Branch of heaven). Although salsa is not native to Colombia or Cali, the city has generated a cultural identity around this musical genre and its respective dance, which is why it is known as the world capital of salsa. Throughout this cultural walk, you will relive the historical process that led Cali to civil wars, harsh moments of discrimination and you will also hear about the poems and songs dedicated to Cali and all its beauty. You can admire its colonial houses and the Jairo Varela Museum, and learn about its people and culture.
