Local naturalist guides will identify jungle sounds, tracks in the mud, and animal behaviors that would go unnoticed by the untrained eye. The experience includes piranha fishing, manatee observation, and encounters with riverside communities that have coexisted with this biodiversity for centuries and will share their Amazon secrets with you.
Taste Colombia: Local Food u0026amp; Drinks You’ll Love
Colombia is not only traveled on foot—it’s also discovered through the palate. Each region has its gastronomic personality, and we’ll show you Colombia’s most emblematic dishes.
Bandeja Paisa
Bandeja Paisa is Antioquia’s most iconic dish. It’s a feast that includes beans, rice, ground beef, chicharrón, chorizo, blood sausage, fried egg, avocado, and arepa. In Medellín, you’ll find the best versions, where each family guards preparation secrets passed down through generations.
Ajiaco
Ajiaco is Bogotá’s culinary soul—a thick soup that combines three types of potatoes with shredded chicken, corn on the cob, and capers. Its secret ingredient is guasca, a unique aromatic herb from the Andes. In traditional restaurants in La Candelaria, it’s served in clay pots that enhance the flavors.
Empanadas
Empanadas vary by region. They use yellow corn masa with meat or cheese fillings on the Caribbean coast. In the Andes, they prefer wheat masa with potato and stewed meat. The secret lies in the exact frying point and the spicy ají that each vendor prepares with their secret recipe.
Colombian Coffee
Colombian Coffee transcends being a simple beverage to become a cultural experience. Arabica beans cultivated in the mountains of Quindío, Risaralda, and Caldas produce unique beans thanks to the altitude and volcanic soils. In Salento and Manizales, tastings teach you to identify notes ranging from caramel to red fruits.
