Las Trompetas de Niche

This iconic spot is both a starting point and final stop for many of Cali’s historical and salsa tours. It’s a living tribute to Jairo Varela, the legendary composer and founder of Grupo Niche, whose music put Cali on the global salsa map. And yes — it’s officially part of SalsaMap!

Step inside, wander beneath its towering structures, and immerse yourself in history. We won’t spoil all the secrets hidden within — that’s for you to discover on one of the city’s most essential tours.

The monument is an integral part of the Jairo Varela Museum, curated by Cristina Varela, Jairo’s daughter, an artist and cultural ambassador in her own right. It’s open for local and international visitors, ready to experience the soul of Cali through SalsaMap’s official tours.
