A Journey to the Soul of Viche: Between Flavors and Rituals

Embark on an unforgettable journey through flavors, rituals, and ancestral wisdom as you uncover the soul of Viche, the sacred drink of Colombia’s Pacific coast. Far beyond a beverage, Viche represents identity, resistance, and healing for the Afro-Colombian people — a living tradition that unites generations.

Guided by Mirta Jesús Valverde Ruiz, a respected spiritual healer, and her granddaughter Nelly Yendy, you’ll immerse yourself in a transformative two-hour experience where storytelling, aroma, and ritual intertwine. Each moment — from the spiritual opening to the symbolic tasting — invites you to connect with the deep roots of Afro-Colombian culture and the feminine wisdom passed through generations.

During this ethno-cultural experience, you’ll learn about the history of Viche, taste its unique varieties, and use medicinal plants to create your own Viche curado — a personalized infusion that carries both healing and heritage.

As a Mastercard guest, you’ll receive two exclusive gifts: a traditional Totuma cup to take home, symbolizing connection to the earth and community, and a small bottle of Viche, crafted by the healers themselves — a piece of Afro-Colombian legacy made just for you.
