Tour description

Welcome to the Sultana del Valle, immerse yourself in the best food market in Cali!

We are the largest group of expert local Free Tours guides in Colombia with 12 original tours created by ourselves and also the most awarded tours in the country! 7 international recognitions, 5 TripAdvisor Travelers Choice, and the Top 3 in Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín, and Cali.

We are authentic guides connecting Colombia since 2013, 10 years of sharing passion at every step!

The gastronomic diversity of Valle del Cauca is highly appreciated in the country for its unique flavors such as Tamal Valluno, Pandebono, Viche, Manjar, and exotic fruit juices (such as Borojó)!

We will walk to the Mercado de la Alameda to taste homemade food such as Champús and Cucas made by caleñas. This is the best start for you to understand how important our identity is through our gastronomy.

Between Afro preparations and European flavors, get a glimpse of the local culture and way of life. The market is home to hundreds of vendors selling everything from fresh produce to clothing, crafts, and household items.

Taste the traditional food of the Pacific and toast with Viche, our incredible alcoholic drink!

This experience brings you closer to the flavors, colors, textures, and regional gastronomic preparations, which are loaded with symbols and meanings, as they reveal social relations, popular imaginaries, and the use of the environment.

We will talk about:

  • History and origins of our regional gastronomy
  • Cultural influences of local breeds.
  • Unique and useful preparations.
  • Ancestral ingredients and traditional techniques of the region.
  • The food market as the nucleus of economic survival
  • Biological, geographic and cultural diversity of Valle del Cauca
  • Sweet, salty, oily, spicy and vigorous food
  • And much more!


Join this experience with our team of local guides who, in addition to all the knowledge that we are going to share with you about the local gastronomy inherited from our families.

You will visit authentic places to eat inside the market as well as recommendations for local shops to have lunch , buy coffee, souvenirs and more in case you want to return on your own!
