This small-group food tour in Bogotá lasts about four hours and covers more than 12 tastings of traditional Colombian dishes and local drinks in the Viejo Bogotá district. The tour begins at La Perseverancia Market, where participants sample a variety of exotic fruits while learning about local produce. Next, the group visits a local chicheria to try chicha, a traditional fermented corn beverage. The tour continues at a small eatery specializing in lechona, a roasted stuffed suckling pig with crispy skin. Following this, guests taste ajiaco soup featuring regional variations. Walking through the streets of the old town, the group samples buñuelos, a fried dough pastry. Then, participants play a round of tejo, Colombia’s national sport involving throwing metal discs at explosive targets, accompanied by beer or juice. The next stop is a historic restaurant over 200 years old, where guests try tamale wrapped in leaves served with hot chocolate. The tour ends in Barrio La Candelaria at Casa Magola café with a coffee tasting workshop that explains why Colombia is known for its coffee beans. A professional local guide leads the tour, which includes all tastings, bottled water, and the game of tejo. Group size is limited to eight guests. The total duration varies between three and a half to four hours depending on the group’s pace. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Guests with special dietary needs should notify in advance, but the tour is not recommended for those with severe allergies due to potential food cross-contact. Comfortable walking shoes are advised.
