Tour description

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.

Join , learn and dance to the rhythm of the Sultana del Valle!
