Cali Panoramic Night Tour Including Dinner

After evening hotel pickup, your private guide whisks you away to Sebastián de Belalcázar hill overlooking the shimmering city. As you gaze upon the statue of the Spanish conquistador who founded Cali, learn from your guide what Belalcázar’s statue is pointing at and why the rest of his body faces a different direction.

Continue onto San Antonio, a neighborhood sporting a bohemian-village flair, its narrow streets lined with brightly colored eateries, cafes and shops. At the park perched on a hilltop, your guide provides informative background on the nearby 18th century chapel, and as you peer out onto the sea of city lights below, listen to stories of how Cali began and flourished from this location. If you're visiting on a Sunday night, you'll see locals greeting one another at this popular gathering spot.

A fan of salsa, cumbia or merengue? You’ll feel right at home on Sixth Avenue, or La Sexta Avenida, the next stop on your nighttime introduction to Cali. This buoyant entertainment district teems with discotheques and bars, and don’t be surprised to see people swaying to music or tapping their feet right there in the streets. Ask your guide for recommendations to explore later on your own.

The sightseeing over, it’s time to dig into a delicious Colombian dinner at one of two local-favorite restaurants in Granada’s gastronomic district, Pacific or Ringlete. Pacific specializes in fresh seafood and rice dishes based on original recipes handed down from ancestors who had started the original, well-known Los Balcones Restaurant in 1975. At Ringlete, you’ll find succulent meats and savory stews hailing from the Valle del Cauca region. (See the Itinerary below for sample menus.)

Your appetites for beautiful sights and authentic Colombian cuisine satisfied, you’ll be transported back to your hotel.
