About this tour
We will meet at San Antonio (Carrera 5 #3-02), according to the time you have selected, to begin our fascinating tour of the Historic Center. We will experience the true essence of the Colombian salsa capital as we explore the following most emblematic places:
- Plaza de Caicedo: Plaza de Caicedo is the civic and social epicenter of Cali. Named after Colombian hero Jorge Isaacs Caicedo, the plaza is surrounded by historic buildings such as the Government of Valle del Cauca and the Cali City Hall. It is a vibrant place where Cali residents gather for cultural and social events.
- San Pedro Cathedral: The Cathedral is an impressive religious building that combines baroque and neoclassical elements. Built between the 18th and 19th centuries, it is one of the main architectural symbols of Cali. Its interior houses works of sacred art and its façade is a mix of elegance and monumentality.
- Jorge Isaacs Theater: The Municipal Theater is an important historical and cultural theater in Cali. Opened in 1928, it is named after the Cali writer Jorge Isaacs and has been the scene of numerous theatrical performances, musicals and high-level cultural events.

- Ortiz Bridge and Vestiges: This historic bridge dating back to the 19th century was built to connect different parts of Cali over the Cali River. Although currently only vestiges of its original structure remain, it is a testament to the engineering of the time and a point of historical interest in the city.
- Hermitage: The Hermitage is a small religious temple located on a hill with panoramic views of Cali. It is a place of pilgrimage and devotion, offering visitors a space for peace and contemplation, as well as being a natural viewpoint of the city.
- Monument to Grupo NICHE: This monument pays tribute to Grupo NICHE, one of the most emblematic bands of Colombian salsa. It is a meeting point for music lovers and a place where Cali`s cultural and musical legacy is celebrated.
- Plazoleta Jairo Varela: The Plazoleta is a public space dedicated to the founder and leader of Grupo NICHE, Jairo Varela. It is a meeting place and celebration of Cali salsa, with sculptures and murals that highlight the contribution of the NICHE Group to the local culture.
After finishing the tour, you can return with the group to the original meeting point or stay in the square to enjoy the rest of the afternoon on your own.
