Arrival & welcome dinner
Airport pickup, check-in, and a long table with the whole group. First night out is unhurried — a neighborhood club, easy crowd, just enough salsa to remember why you came.
Six days of salsa, culture, and connection — at the heart of the world's biggest salsa festival.
Everything's handled — hotels, classes, the right parties, the right people. You show up with shoes that survive sweat and an open weekend. We do the rest.
Walking distance to the Feria, safe neighborhood, quiet enough to recover. No shared bunks.
All levels, real Cali style — caleño footwork, partner work, and styling from teachers who grew up in it.
Tickets sorted in advance. Salsódromo, Salsa al Parque, headline shows — all the moments that matter.
Beyond the dance floor — neighborhoods, food, the people who shaped Cali's sound. Context, not checklists.
The clubs locals love, on the right nights, with the right crowd. No tourist traps. Tilo, Zaperoco, La Topa, and a few you wouldn't find alone.
Dancers from Switzerland, France, Germany, Canada — already friends by Day 2. This part matters more than people realize.
What we book is logistics. What you'll remember is the people, the music at 3 a.m., and that specific moment in a club where the city stops being a place and becomes a feeling.
The week is shaped like a song — soft entrance, slow burn, peak, fade. Each day has a rhythm of class, culture, and night, with enough air to actually rest.
Two years of small-group trips, hundreds of nights out, dancers from twelve countries. Real photos go here once we have your permission.
"You don't experience Cali like a tourist, but like a local."
A salsa host with deep roots in the Medellín and Cali scenes, and an experience curator who's been quietly making complicated trips feel simple for a decade.
Salsa dancer and host based between Medellín and Cali. Runs Rumba's weekly events guide and knows the door at every club worth knowing. Lived the scene from the inside out.
@julianvlla →Experience curator and traveler. Handles the unglamorous parts — hotels, transfers, group flow, the ten things that go wrong before they go wrong. Swiss precision, Latin tempo.
tumbao.ch →No commitment. We'll send you details when packages are ready in early summer. If the trip isn't right for you, we'll be honest about that too.
We'll get back to you personally within 48 hours, and send package details the moment they're ready in June. — Julian & Janus
