BOOKING REQUIRED

BOOKING REQUIRED

Want to eat like a local? You’ve probably heard of “empanadas” but have you tried “chicharrón” and did you know that “bocadillo” in Colombia is not a sandwich? 

Join us on local food tour, a tasty walk through the cool residential area of Laureles where we try a variety of typical Colombian food & drinks at our favorite local places and provide some insight into the cultural context and traditions around each specialty. 


** The main dish includes pork and we are unable to provide vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian, kosher, halal alternatives **
