The Cali Street Food Walking Tour

About this activity

Welcome to my introduction to my hometown: discover local culture while we walk amongst landmarks and try local snacks. Come hungry!

I will take you through a list of food spots that I've personally chosen. From hots to colds, solids to beverages, sweet to salty, stores & street vendors, national and local, fried to baked, fruits to meats, and everything in between while we walk amongst the city's most famous landmarks.

All tasting options are snacks. But if you know Colombia, you know... we like eating. Most people are satisfied by the end.

Items you will be able to choose from: pandebono, buñuelo, arepa, empanadas, marranitas, papa rellena, papa aborrajada, aborrajado, chorizo, champús, ice-cream, coffee... and some more!

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