On this free salsa tour around Cali, you'll explore the history of one of the most popular music genres and its connection to street art in the capital of Valle del Cauca, Colombia.

Tour Details

We will meet at Plazoleta Jairo Varela to begin our free salsa tour of Cali. This tour highlights how Cali embraced salsa as its hallmark.

As we walk through the vibrant streets of Cali, we will discuss the history of salsa in Colombia, tracing its origins and evolution in the country.

We will stop to admire recent murals that provide a historical and artistic perspective. Salsa music symbolizes an African emancipation movement in Colombia, which adds depth to its joyful rhythm.

We will examine how salsa and street art have influenced Cali's identity since the 1960s. The murals depict salsa icons and reflect the political and social activism tied to this art form. Each hip movement and brushstroke conveys a message.

The tour will conclude 3 hours after it begins.
