Description

Meet your guide at a local market in Bogota to begin a food tour featuring over 12 tastings designed to showcase the city's diverse cuisine. The tour starts with a traditional ajiaco soup and a selection of exotic fruits, some rarely tasted outside Colombia.

For meat lovers, the next stop offers lechona, a roasted and stuffed suckling pig with crispy golden skin, served at a small local eatery. The tour continues to a genuine chicheria, followed by a walk through central Bogota to taste golden buñuelos, a deep-fried doughnut-like pastry paired with avena, a local oatmeal smoothie.

Then, visit a restaurant operating for nearly two centuries to try leaf-wrapped chicken tamales alongside frothy hot chocolate.

Later, play a round of explosive tejo accompanied by a local drink. While walking through Old Town Bogota, your guide shares stories about the city's history.
