Overview
A half-day walking tour visiting several restaurants where you will sample the local cuisine!
Your local guide will take you to several typical restaurants in Santander, Colombia, where you'll sample dishes unique to the region.
Start with Arepa Santandereana, a peeled corn arepa cooked over charcoal with Chicharrón (pork belly). It's rich in flavor but not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Next, you'll enjoy Chorizo sausages followed by "Carne Oriada," a sun-dried red meat with a jerky-like texture, and marinated, oven-cooked goat.
For dessert, savor Bocadillo (a sweet made from guava) with goat cheese, and traditional Arequipe Gloria (caramel) cooked in a wooden oven. Finally, no Santander food tour is complete without tasting the world-famous Hormigas Culonas—large, crunchy ants that are a true regional delicacy.
