Bogotá Food Tour

Bogotá sits high in the Andes, on a savanna the Muisca farmed for centuries before the Spanish arrived. Our Bogotá food tour walks you through La Candelaria, the oldest part of the city, and tells its whole history through what you eat.&nbsp;You'll start in a working market with a syrup-cooked fig and a tasting of fruit most people outside South America have never seen. From there, a local guide who lives in Bogotá leads you through the streets and plazas of the old center, one bite at a time: the corn the Muisca grew, turned into a leaf-steamed tamal, a fermented drink this city once tried to ban, and a griddled arepa. You'll try coca tea and finally hear the truth about the leaf, then warm up over ajiaco, the potato soup Bogotanos adore like family.&nbsp;Along the way your guide fills in the parts a map leaves out: the plaza where the city was founded, the Indigenous people who were here first, and the murals painted across whole buildings and the fight it took to make them legal. This is the context you can only get from a local guide who knows the food and the history behind it.&nbsp;We finish with Colombian coffee brewed in front of you at a working barista school, and the story of how the country learned to keep its own best beans.&nbsp;Somewhere in the tour, we'll also hand you a secret dessert dish we reveal only on the day. It is a local favourite, and pulls the whole city together in a single bite.
