Hi 👋 I'm Juan, Cali local, born and raised here. Tourism is: something I love to do, something I am good at, and something I can make a job out of. That's why I have found a vocation in it. My tours keep growing, expanding, innovating, always a project-under-construction. They're never finished as I keep improving them with the experience every traveller brings. I speak superb english, native spanish, fluent portuguese, and some french. Thanks for considering me to show you my hometown. Welcome to Cali!
THE GASTRONOMIC HEART OF CALI: you won't find anything more flavourly authentic! Food, fruits, and everything local.

Galeria Alameda is every caleño's (person from Cali) place of choice for fresh fruits, artisanal drinks, great sea food, colorful flowers, quality souvenirs and everything local you can think of. Exotic variety characterizes this place!
This will be a journey through our senses, using our eyes 👁️👁️ ears 👂 noses 👃 and mouths 😋 to explore everything around us. Taste fruits you have never seen before, fresh colombian cheeses, empanadas I haven't seen anywhere else, traditional liquours, coconut water, aphrodisiac fruit (chontaduro) in fruit & juice, a tamales factory, and many more!
If you enjoy eating, if you enjoy the ambience of a public market, this is a tour for you.
Some fruits we may taste: mangostino, chirimoya, anón, mango, curuba, chachairú, grosella, chontaduro, níspero, and many more.
Cheeses we may taste: cuajada, campesino, costeño.
Did you know flowers are the 2nd biggest agricultural export for Colombia, only below coffee? Now you know, and you will get to see them in this market.
We will even go to the esotericism side of the market, and see where witches and magicians buy their stuff... spooky 🔮
Let's meet outside Artesanías La Caleñita (souvenir store). There is usually heavy traffic around the market, so plan ahead or walk a few blocks.
FOOD STOP - TASTE THE RAINBOW: my fruit tasting experience of tropical fruits you may have never seen before. Gulupa, mangostino, mamoncillo, anón, curuva, uchuva, just to name a few.
FOOD STOP - Empanadas! As you have never had them before (at least myself). Different from the traditional empanada, they fill it with premium pork meat and rice.
FOOD STOP - cheese! My experience is, most people seem to enjoy a little cheese. Give yourself the opportunity to try fresh colombian cheese here.
FOOD STOP - where you can buy champús, regional beverage of indigenous origin. Also, argentinian empanadas.
VISUAL STOP: You may not know Colombia's biggest agro export only second to coffee are... flowers! Great quality, great prices. This is a visual stop.
VISUAL STOP: We will finish our tour with a great souvenir shop. This is a visual stop.
Besides catholicism, there are belief systems based on indigenous and african cultures. You can buy drops with different scents and purposes.
BONUS - place where, after the tour, you can sit down and enjoy a cup of actual colombian coffee.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
