My name is Juan! And I will take you through a list of food spots that I've personally chosen for their authenticity, price, and taste of course.
We will cover a good range of food & snacks: from hots to colds, solids to drinks, sweet to salty, stores & street vendors, national and local, fried to baked, fruits to meats, and everything in between.

Before we even start with the food, we will check out some murals that allow me to tell you about Cali's local culture, events, a national martyr and the first black vice-president of Colombia. Then, for the food…

STOP 1: Bakery
Good colombian bread. Pandebono, buñuelo, roscón, pan galleta. There are also options with guava sweet or milk caramel, coconut, cheese, sausage, and even coffee.

BONUS intermmediate stop (only during weekdays): fried chip plantains, crisps, and salchipapa.

Surprise! We will check out the Salsa Plaza, listen to some music, even do some Salsa steps for you to feel more confident to confront a night of rumba…

BONUS intermmediate stop (only during weekdays): chontaduro, fruit & juice of this regional fruit said to be aphrodisiac, great for vegans and vegetarians because it has a lot of protein.

All tasting options are snacks, not big dishes. But don't be fooled, some are not small and I assure: you will be full by the end.

Vegans welcome. Vegetarians welcome. Gluten-free people are welcome. Meat-lovers welcome as well! There are options for everybody.

The tour starts and ends in Bulevar del Rio, the city's favourite spot for its breeze and ambience. We will be walking and stopping at several food businesses and street vendors. I will guide you on what everything is and what each spot does best, and you'll let your eyes and mouth decide what you want to try.

“full belly, happy heart”.

I think that's all you should now. Any questions just let me know.
