It was a complete tour, we tasted lots of fruits (some 12), we drank coconut water, we tasted cheese, borojo batido, lulada and shampoos. We ended up tasting a liquor from the Colombian Pacific: car. We also tried tamal. It was a very interesting 3-hour tour. Note: It is important to know that it is a free tour but being proof of food will have to pay but in a group it is cheap because it is shared by everyone. Our guide Fernando notices that he knows the food around here well and was a great experience to emerge in the culture of caleña.

For us as a family, Somos Caleños is a place full of life, magic and an unattainable variety of fruits and vegetables that make this place more colorful than the rainbow. It is our favorite place to go to market, buy flowers, cheese or any need we have at home, you can do it in particular and buy the different proposals born inside, chontaduros, exotic fruits, restaurants where our favorite ceviche is located.
