What you can expect

Immerse yourself in the rich history, vibrant culture, and lively traditions of Cali on this guided walking tour through the city’s most emblematic landmarks. This experience combines religious heritage, museums, art, and local culture as you explore the historic center of Cali.

Your tour begins at the iconic La Ermita Church, one of the most photographed sites in the city and a stunning example of neo-gothic architecture. From there, stroll to the Plaza de Caicedo, the main square of Cali, where you will visit the impressive San Pedro Apostol Cathedral, one of the city’s most important religious temples.

Next, visit the San Francisco Church, a historic site that showcases Cali’s rich architectural and spiritual heritage.

Then, explore the pre-Hispanic history of the region at the Calima Gold Museum of the Banco de la República, where you will learn about the ancient cultures of Valle del Cauca and admire exquisite gold artifacts.

Afterwards, stop at the La Merced Church, a prominent colonial-era temple, followed by a visit to the La Merced Museum, which houses important archaeological collections and historical artifacts of the city.

The journey continues to the charming San Antonio neighborhood, where you will visit the San Antonio Church, perched on a hill offering breathtaking panoramic views of Cali.

From there, head toward the La Tertulia Museum (exterior visit), one of Cali’s leading modern art spaces, before walking along the Cali River to the famous El Gato del Río Park, home to the city’s iconic cat sculpture and its colorful artistic companions.

The experience concludes at Jairo Varela Plaza, where you’ll enter the Jairo Varela Museum to discover the story of salsa music in Cali, celebrating the legacy of one of Colombia’s most influential salsa composers—the very rhythm that earned Cali the title of the World Capital of Salsa.

This tour is perfect for travelers seeking an immersive cultural journey that combines history, architecture, art, and music in one unforgettable experience.
