During the Street Food Tour we visit a local market to sample local drinks and foods. On our way to the market we walk through the tradicional neighborhoods "San Antonio" and "San Cayetano". Next to that we visit some parks, like Parque Jovita and Loma de la Cruz, an artesian park. We discover amazing street art, some with interesting social messages. Around the beautiful market we learn about the local culture, meet locals and try at least 15 samples of food and drinks. We try tropical fruits like Chontaduro, typical drinks like Lulada, typical food like Ceviche Colombiano and a lot more. The tour includes all the food and drinks samples. The whole experience takes around 3 hours. Our guides have lots of nice recommendations for restaurants, cafes, other tours and things to do in Santiago de Cali!

Our meeting point will be "El Gato de Tejada", at 8:00 AM. It's important to start early, so that if the day is sunny, the sun will not be too strong during the climb. Once we are at the top of the mountain, we will spend at least 20 minutes there, catching our breaths, drinking a fresh and delicious orange and carrot juice, stretching our legs and taking lots of pictures. Then we will go down again on a different and less difficult road and will be done with our experience.
