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.

We absolutely loved this tour! It is truly unique and authentic experience and one can immerse completely into the local culture while having SO much fun. We were a group of 4 and it was great to have the opportunity to play tejo and visit local "fondas" in Sabaneta. The food, drinks and the atmosphere were amazing. The transport was on point and our guide really helped make our experience top-notch! Thank you Palenque Tours!

I'm from Colombia but I was doing 4 different tours with Palenque Tours Colombia because my friend from Germany was visiting my country and I wanted to show her the best of the best with off-the-bitten track places and experiences. I wouldn't leave Medellin without know this local experience. Of course, we loved it! It was very fun to know these local taverns and then play our sport: "tejo"! The guide was so fun and we had an amazing experience. Thank you for everything! This was our last tour and we really felt we knew the Paisa culture

my tour and tour guide was excellent however direct communication and confirmation of the reservation with the company running the tour is highly recommended. Do not book solely through viator. They do not confirm with the operating company at all.
