Calling all foodies. Come and join our small-group Bogota food tour and get to grips with the capital's cuisine. While on the surface Colombian cuisine seems like a mystery, those whose delve deep into its underbelly will find some of the most complex and nuanced fare in South America. Join our food-obsessed (and fully licensed) local guide on a feasting extravaganza through the streets of downtown.

Stop en-route to sample around 13+ different tastings including exotic fruits, lechona (roasted suckling pig), ajiaco soup, tamale at an historic bakery, Colombian sweet desserts and much, much more. Visit a truly local chicheria. Later play a round of explosive tejo, Colombian's national pastime - all washed down with a local beverage. Sign off the tour with an immersive coffee workshop to get to grips with why Colombia roasts some of the finest beans in the world.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Bogota
Our first stop is La Perseverancia Market, learning about exotic fruits with a food obsessed guide. Then we'll dive into a truly local chicheria. For carnivores, there's no happier place than the next hole-in-the-wall eatery, which does nothing more than lechona - stuffed suckling pig with crunchy, golden skin. Your taste buds are going to thank us later, when you then savour the innovative twists of ajiaco soup. Continue winding through the streets of old town, and try buñuelos, a deep-fried doughnut-like pastry. We'll next play a round of tejo, Colombian's rather explosive national pastime, all washed down with a cold beer (or juice!). Then we'll jump into one more seriously historic restaurant which has been serving hungry locals for 200+ years. Tuck into steamy leaf-wrapped tamale, with frothy hot chocolate. Sounds like an odd combo? It's good. Trust us.
2. Barrio La Candelaria
Over the course of the tour you'll have a rich understanding of our food culture - with 13+ tastings, and the guidance of a local expert who is a bonified foodie! Sign off with a coffee workshop to find out why this country roasts some of the finest beans in the world. The tour ends at Casa Magola cafe, along Carrerra 3. It's a short walk from the Museo Botero and the Plaza de Bolívar in the popular La Candelaria district. Your guide can help you find transport back to your hotel if you wish. The tour duration is approximately 3.5 to 4 hours depending on the pace of the group. Special dietary restriction or food allergy? These local joints have signature menus that don't always have alternatives but we'll find alternatives where we can! We unfortunately cannot recommend the tour to severe allergies, as street food always has a risk of traces and cross-contamination. Come take a bite into Colombia's cuisine. Buen Provecho!

Juliana was an amazing tour guide!
Food portions were huge and the tour was worth every cent, spent!

It is a walking food tour and the amount of walking did not exert too much energy. It was a great balance between all of the food.

I definitely recommend it.

Juliana was well prepared for every stop, there was even a joke within the group about her bag/tote seeming endless like Hermoine's in Harry Potter or Mary Poppins.

Andres was amazing! The tour is like a history lesson, walking tour and food tour combined. We got to try lots of fruit that I've never heard of and enjoyed some traditional foods. I highly recommend this tour!

This food tour was SO wonderful. Not only did we get to taste many of Columbia’s delicacies but we were also treated to the history of the dishes and how they came to be. Andres is a delight! He is calm and full of knowledge. He introduced himself as a historian and let us know that we could feel comfortable asking him anything and we certainly did! I learned so much about Bogota and its people through this tour. We didn’t just sit and listen but we actually got to experience the culture first hand. We finished the tour at a microbrewery where we tasted the local beers while playing the Colombian version of “cornhole.” This food tour is a must do in Bogota!

Andres was an excellent host and guide. He prepared a slide show and detailed recipes, history and culture show for us to take.

The food was excellent and very authentic. We enjoyed the chicha, the soup, the pork and arepas, tamales and drinks. We also played games at two bars and really got a sense of Bogota, Colombia and the Andes region. Very well done.
