SHOPPING AND EATING: A walk through the flavors of Colombia

Walk, shop, taste and discover Bogotá like a local

If you want to get to know Colombia through its most authentic flavors, this is your experience.

We'll start at the iconic Plaza de Mercado de Paloquemao, one of the most traditional markets in Bogotá. Amid mountains of exotic fruits, fresh aromas, and merchants who have worked there for generations, we'll learn about Colombia's biodiversity while doing our own local shopping.

We'll buy a selection of seasonal fruits and discover how the ingredients tell the story of each region of the country.

Afterwards, we'll taste some classics of Cundiboyacense cuisine: arepas, artisan amasijos, and natural juices prepared with fresh produce from the market.

From there, we'll head to the historic heart of Bogota, La Candelaria. Amidst colonial streets, hidden squares, and centuries-old businesses, we will enjoy a guided food tasting with the fruits purchased in Paloquemao, exploring the flavors, aromas, and interesting facts that make Colombia one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet.

The gastronomic adventure continues with visits to traditional establishments that preserve recipes, techniques and knowledge passed down through generations. Each stop is an opportunity to learn about the history of Bogotá through food.
