Viejo Bogota Food Tour with 13+ Tastings

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.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Bogota, 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! 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.

These local spots have signature menus, so if you have a dietary restriction, please read the next part, so you'll know how it might impact your food tour experience.

Your guide can help you find transport back to your hotel if you wish. The tour duration is approximately 3-4 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. So, vegetarian, no pork, or gluten-free guests would have less tastings. We 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!
