Overview: 

Amaze yourself from the top, in the best viewpoint of the city with the giant Cristo Rey for  great photo opportunities and a panoramic view of the Cali. 
Wind down the mountain to learn the story of the controversial founder of the city Sebastian de Belalcazar, and meet the cat’s park by the riverside (Gato del Rio Cali), to walk your way and marvel through an outdoor art exposition, fully covered by a ceiling of tree branches and surrounded by birds while you do some birdwatching with our guide.  

Next, you will learn why Cali is the world capital of salsa, with its own style: salsa caleña, and dance your feet at the beat of salsa under a giant instrument at Jairo Varela Square. Stroll down the old city center, to enjoy the breeze while you connect with the roots of the city at la Ermita Gothic Church, pass by its place of foundation (La Merced), adorned by the colorful, and emotive street art o Calle La Escopeta. 
Wrap up your tour at a foundation of 50 women we support, they sell really cool crafts and souvenirs also.
