This tour is designed to show you the authentic, non-commercial daily life of the city while treating your palate to a massive selection of flavours you won't find anywhere else on Earth.
Your Taste Experience:
The Exotic Fruit Masterclass: The crown jewel of the tour. You will sit down for a curated tasting of at least 20 different exotic Colombian fruits (and often more, depending on the season!). From the sweet and creamy to the delightfully sour, you will learn how to open, eat, and pair these natural wonders while discovering their history.
Hidden Market Wonders: Walk through the aromatic herb sections and traditional stalls. Learn how locals use these ingredients for medicine and daily cooking, interacting directly with friendly local merchants who have spent decades in the market.
Street Food and Custom Juice Ritual: Balance the sweetness of the fruits with authentic savoury local bites. Enjoy freshly made traditional snacks like empanadas or buñuelos. To perfectly round out your sensory morning, you will choose your absolute favourite fruits from the tour and have them blended into a custom, fresh fruit juice made just for you.
