Why take this tour?

This tour combines two authentic local activities full of fun, local culture, and traditions. First, you enjoy the “Tejo'' game - probably the most traditional game in Colombian culture. The “Tejo'' game today includes gunpowder and usually, a lot of beer, and the modern discs (tejo) are made of metal. Experience this perfect way to get closer to Colombian culture while drinking a few beers and having a lot of fun. Afterwards experience the most traditional nightlife experience in the valley of Medellín, visiting the so-called “Fondas” - local bars with exotic decoration and typical Colombian music, located in the suburbs of the city. The decoration of common artifacts, traditional appliances, paintings, and religious icons reflects the cultural heritage of the so-called Paisa Culture. Experience this authentic part of local Paisa culture at several local “Fondas” where you try traditional food and drinks while listening to typical Colombian music.
