Colombia isn't just seen—it's savored

28-Feb-2025

If you thought you knew Colombia, this trip will make you discover it all over again. The bandeja paisa is a feast that defies hunger, and the local markets are pure magic with their colors and aromas. What surprised me most was the warmth of the people, always eager to share their traditions. The tour perfectly combined history, landscapes, and above all, cuisine full of soul. I'd come back just for the sancocho and a freshly roasted coffee!

A journey that awakens all five senses

10-Apr-2025

As a foodie, this tour was a dream come true. Every day brought a new adventure: from street-style arepas to fruits that seem out of this world. The coffee region tastings were incredible, and the explanations about native ingredients made me appreciate Colombian cuisine even more. Plus, the small group size made the experience more intimate and special. Colombia isn't just eaten—it's lived!

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience

21-Mar-2025

This journey through Colombia exceeded all my expectations! From the first bite of ajiaco santafereño in Bogotá to the fresh ceviche in Cartagena, every dish was an explosion of authentic flavors. I loved trying exotic fruits like lulo and guanábana, which I had never tasted before. Plus, visiting a coffee farm and enjoying the best coffee in the world was the perfect finale. The guides were passionate and full of stories. 100% recommended for food and culture lovers!
