OUR TOUR LASTS APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS
We are Beyond Colombia, the largest group of Expert Local Free Tour guides in Colombia with 14 original tours created by ourselves and also the most awarded in the country! 7 international recognitions, 5 TripAdvisor Travellers Choice and Top 3 in Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín and Cali.
We are authentic guides connecting Colombia since 2013, 11 years sharing passion in every step!
The gastronomic diversity of Valle del Cauca is highly appreciated in the country for its unique flavours such as Tamal Valluno, Pandebono, Viche, Manjar, and exotic fruit juices (such as Borojó)!
We will walk to the Mercado de la Alameda to taste homemade food such as Champús and Cucas made by caleñas. This is the best start for you to understand how important our identity is through our gastronomy.
Between Afro preparations and European flavours, get a glimpse of the local culture and way of life. The market is home to hundreds of vendors selling everything from fresh produce to clothing, crafts, and household items.
Taste the traditional food of the Pacific and toast with Viche, our incredible alcoholic drink!
This experience brings you closer to the flavours, colours, textures, and regional gastronomic preparations, which are loaded with symbols and meanings, as they reveal social relations, popular imaginaries, and the use of the environment.
We will talk about:
- History and origins of our regional gastronomy
- Cultural influences of local breeds.
- Unique and useful preparations.
- Ancestral ingredients and traditional techniques of the region.
- The food market as the nucleus of economic survival
- Biological, geographic and cultural diversity of Valle del Cauca
