Welcome to Colombia and Cali, the world capital of salsa and flavor!

We are the largest group of expert local Free Tours guides in Colombia with 12 original tours created by ourselves and also the most awarded in the country! 7 international recognitions, 5 TripAdvisor Travelers Choice and Top 3 in Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín and Cali.

We are authentic guides connecting Colombia since 2013, 10 years sharing passion in every step!

Let's start with a question: would you like to learn about the "Caleña" culture and understand the transformation it has had in the last 20 years to be called the "world capital of salsa" ?

Tour the historic center of Cali with your Beyond Colombia guides so that you can understand the importance of the cultural legacy that our 3 ethnic groups have left in us, learning about the characteristics from our gastronomy, local slang and the songs of the Pacific.

We will start from the La Merced Church passing by the Calima Gold Museum, to understand the historical starting point where the city of Santiago de Cali originated and whose socioeconomic development since the 17th century explains the modern dynamics that make visible the current impact of a culture diverse in customs and expressions.

We will cross the most important squares of Cali such as:

• The River Boulevard
• San Francisco Square
• Cayzedo Square
• Jairo Varela

We will also visit the architectural icons of Cali such as:

• The Hermitage
• The Municipal Theater
• St. Peter's Cathedral
• Jorge Isaacs Theater
• Puente Ortiz, among others.

We will show you both sides of the coin: we will talk about the importance of football and Salsa in our society, but at the same time about the impact, incidence and consequences of drug trafficking in our daily lives.

At the end of the tour you will know the root of our essence, you will identify the culture of Valle del Cauca from gastronomy to the revolutionary behavior that we carry in our blood thanks to our history and anti-cultural resistance movements.

Our goal is for you to take a little piece of our Cali flavor so that you can see and recommend Cali from a more real , complete and objective perspective.

Welcome to Colombia and the "Sucursal del Cielo"!

We are the largest group of expert local Free Tours guides in Colombia with 13 original tours created by ourselves and also the most awarded in the country! 7 international recognitions, 5 TripAdvisor Travelers Choice and Top 3 in Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín and Cali.

We are authentic guides connecting Colombia since 2013, 10 years sharing passion in every step!

Feel Cali's revolution through Salsa as a popular lifestyle!

Discover the rebel soul of Cali through our exciting salsa and urban art tour! Immerse yourself in the passion and energy of Colombia's salsa capital as you explore its streets filled with color, creativity and its memories. Join us for a unique experience where music, dance, and art blend into the very essence of Cali!

• Cali is characterized by its energetic nightlife with a varied musical offering but at the same time very concentrated on salsa, the icon of local identity. Many people visit the city to learn to dance Cali salsa due to the fame of its technique and style, or simply to appreciate this art that combines music, joy and flow.

• However, apart from the dance and the local nightlife, we intend that with this Tour you understand that salsa exists thanks to a historical process of African emancipation that many of our ancestors lived and left in us as a cultural and social legacy. Salsa is part of the “cultura popular” of our people and is a social movement whose lyrics tell us moments of revolution, crazy loves, historical events and social manifestos. 

• From its beginnings in the Caribbean Antilles, through a great musical mix and its definition in New York, to the boom years of cultural development in Cali between the 60's and 80's, salsa has served as a means of connection between society and guilds, and has become a romantic, folkloric and revolutionary art. Today you can see salsa characters painted on various murals in tribute to their musical and social contribution in the streets of Cali, and curiously close to them you will find more radical and activist messages from other social movements linked to a popular struggle and cause.

We want to make you see salsa as a movement and lifestyle that has revolutionized our passions and whose musical manifestation is a celebration of a struggle in life.

In this innovative Tour we will visit must-see places such as:

 - The Plazoleta de la Caleñidad
- The "Calle del Pecado" (or street of flavor)
- "The Curve" of the River Boulevard
- World Cup Tunnel and 5th Avenue
 - Graffiti monument to victims N21
- Cult salsa bars
- And much more!

At the end of this Tour you will appreciate salsa with a different perspective and you will understand the effervescence of the Cali people that has led us to face social outbreaks, protests and solidarity struggles where art, music and activism are tools of resistance.

WELCOME TO CALI!

Back in the first half of the 1900's cuban music was getting super popular in the US as vacationers went to and from the island and would spread the word about their caribbean rythms. Guajira, Chachachá, Danzón, Cuban Son, Son Montuno, Guaracha, Pachanga, Mambo, Rumba, Bolero... are only some of the myriad of rythms that existed (and exist) in Cuba in the beggining of the century. Americans were having a feast with the island, enjoying all it's beauties, until...

The 1960's come with the cuban revolution, the Castro brothers, the USSR, communism, cold war, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the embargo.

And suddenly... nobody wants (or can) anything to do with the island.

With the influx of cubans and general latin immigration to the US of the middle of the century, many of them to cities like New York, some of them musicians, and as an answer to big bands and Jazz bands of the time, they mix all those cuban rythms (already popular in all the continent) and re-brand them under the name:

¡SALSA!

Which in spanish literally means: sauce. And just like what is is in food: a mix of all unique ingredients, all different to each other, that together make something much bigger than they would accomplish on their own...

Want to know more?

This is my propposal to discover SALSA in my hometown, for many, Salsa capital of the world. How and why is salsa so important here? Where to dance it? How to dance it? How to PLAY it? A multisensorial tour with music, history, steps, instruments and of course...

Salsa capital of the world. Sports capital of latinamerica. The 2nd largest black population per capita in latin america. MY hometown of Cali is known for many things. And for many travellers, for it's cool wall art and murals all around the city.

In a culture where having a policital opinion is a life-threatening activity, people have found in walls an opportunity to display and materialize cries for justice, pain and beauty.

We will go around one of the nicest areas in Cali and read culture and society through it's most colorful walls.

Local landmarks will also intertwine between our murals.

As a bonus, we will finish in La Linterna, a printing shop that preserves (and uses) the oldest commercially available printing presses of the city, imported centuries ago from France and the UK.
