DURATION: 3 HOURS
From Alameda Park, we'll visit the Alameda Market, passing by stalls selling homemade food like Champús and Cucas made by Cali natives . This is the best way to understand how important our identity is through our cuisine.
Between African preparations and European flavors, get a glimpse into 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 .
Try traditional Pacific cuisine and toast with Viche , our incredible alcoholic beverage!
This experience brings you closer to the flavors, colors, textures, and regional culinary preparations, which are loaded with symbols and meanings, as they reveal social relationships, popular imaginations, and the use of the environment.
We will talk about:
- History and origins of our regional gastronomy

- Ancestral ingredients and traditional techniques from the region.
- The food market as the core of economic survival
