Overview
Salsa Tour:
You’ll begin your experience at the World Capital of Salsa in Plaza Jairo Varela (the salsa square). Find yourself dancing under the biggest trumpets on the globe and even playing an instrument yourself.
Then, make your way across a giant piano under your feet where you will learn how “caleños” traditionally first meet at a young age in the dance floor. Even so, learn how these salsa dancers become couples toasting with a traditional juice that will refresh your palate. Now, stroll along the riverside where you will admire the street art of the “Singer of the Singers”.
Create your own souvenir (included) at a local souvenir shop, where you will support a foundation of women.
Finally, connect with the roots of the first salsa band in the city. That is to say, we listen to their family story while admiring their unique collection of instruments that you can play and have fun dancing.
Experience all of this in just one afternoon!
