Whoever the traveler you are, cross tasting typical food of your checklist trip and join us in this tour around Colombian Caribbean identity and culture through its cuisine.

Your day will start by meeting our local and friendly tour guide. With him you will be headed to the first stop in the city.

Once there, you will start a journey across several restaurants where locals will welcome you with the best flavors and stories about their cuisine history and tradition.

Butifarra, a seasoned pork sausage. Kibbes, the famous meat dish from Lebanon with its Colombian stamp. Fritos: all kind of deep-fried snacks made with yucca, corn flour, green plantain, and lots of cheese. And arepa de huevo (Arepa with egg): arepa is one of the most traditional Colombian plates. Eaten almost everywhere in the country in lots of different versions. In the Caribbean coast this corn-based tortilla is usually fried and stuffed with a tasty egg.
