In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the Cali Food Tour, an authentic journey through the unique tastes of Valle del Cauca.

Here, sample exotic tropical fruits like lulo, chontaduro, and freshly pressed sugarcane juice. The experience continues with visits to some of Cali’s most iconic culinary spots, including Plazoleta Jairo Varela and traditional fish markets, where you will try ceviche, shrimp empanadas, and fish patacones.

Next, indulge in the celebrated "picadas caleñas," a flavorful combination of pork rinds, pork, fried yuca, ripe plantain, and small arepas, paired with local beverages such as refreshing cholao or classic champús. The tour concludes with a stop at a local crafts store, allowing you to take a piece of Cali home with you. After this afternoon filled with rich aromas, flavors, and culture, return to your hotel at your leisure to rest.
