The tour kicks off steps from the Caribbean Sea with one of Colombia's most iconic street foods: Colombian-style ceviche. Unlike its Peruvian cousin, the local version is served cold in a cup — tender shrimp or fresh fish marinated in lime, tomato, and a touch of sweetness that defines the Caribbean coast. Paired with crispy crackers and eaten standing up with the sea breeze on your face, it's the perfect introduction to Cartagena's food culture. You'll also taste additional coastal bites from the same vendor — the kind of fresh, no-frills seafood that keeps locals coming back daily. Allergen note: contains shellfish. Please inform your guide of any dietary restrictions before the tour.

Few street foods tell the story of Colombia's Caribbean coast as simply — or as deliciously — as the patacón. In the heart of the Walled City, we stop to try one of the most beloved staples of the costeño kitchen: a twice-fried green plantain, pressed flat, fried until golden and crispy on the outside, and topped with a generous slice of queso costeño — the salty, crumbly, sun-dried cheese that has been a fixture of Caribbean Colombian cooking for centuries. The combination sounds humble. It is. And that's exactly the point. The patacón is peasant food elevated by technique and tradition — the kind of dish that requires no menu, no restaurant, and no occasion other than hunger and a good street corner in one of the most beautiful cities in the Americas. Flavor profile: Crispy · Starchy · Salty · Savory Contains: Dairy. Please inform your guide of any dietary restrictions before the tour. Try it in this Food Tour in Cartagena.

Portal de Los DulcesFew places in Cartagena carry as much history in a single bite as the Portal de los Dulces. This iconic arcade at the entrance of the Walled City has been the home of Colombia's most beloved traditional sweets for over a century — and the women selling them here have passed their recipes down through generations, preserving flavors that date back to the African and Caribbean roots of the Colombian coast. Your guide will introduce you to cocadas — dense, chewy rounds of toasted coconut and panela that are one of the most recognizable sweets in the country — and to alegrías, whose name literally translates to happiness: a crunchy, golden bar made from puffed amaranth and raw sugar that you simply cannot find like this anywhere else in Colombia. One bite and the name makes complete sense. These aren't souvenirs. They're living culinary heritage — handmade daily, sold by the same families who have occupied these stalls for decades, and eaten by locals and visitors alike.

Walled City of CartagenaThere are breads that feed you. And then there are breads that stop you mid-bite and make you reconsider everything you thought you knew about baked goods. Pandebono is the latter — and the version you'll try here, fresh from a street baker in the heart of the Walled City, is among the best you will find anywhere in Colombia. Made from a simple but precise combination of fermented cassava starch, queso costeño, egg, and a touch of sugar, pandebono is baked until the outside is just firm enough to hold its shape while the inside stays soft, chewy, and impossibly light. No yeast. No flour. To wash it down, your guide will hand you a glass of jugo de corozo — a deep crimson juice pressed from the corozo palm fruit, native to Colombia's Caribbean coast. Together, pandebono and corozo juice are one of those perfect, unrepeatable street food pairings. Enjoy them in this Food Tour in Cartagena.

If there is one street food that defines the Caribbean coast of Colombia above all others, it is the arepa de huevo — and trying one fresh off the oil, standing on a cobblestone street in the Walled City of Cartagena, is as authentic as Colombian street food gets. The process is a small act of culinary engineering. A corn arepa is partially fried, split open at just the right moment, filled with a raw egg, sealed shut, and dropped back into the hot oil until the outside turns golden and crispy and the egg sets perfectly inside. The result is a handheld, self-contained breakfast that is simultaneously crunchy, soft, and rich — and one that requires considerably more skill to make than it looks. Discover it in this Street Food Tour in Cartagena. No sauces. No sides. Just the arepa, the egg, and the street. Exactly as it should be. Flavor profile: Crispy · Rich · Savory · Satisfying Contains: Egg · Corn. Please inform your guide of any dietary restrictions before the tour.

Cartagena DistrictThe Colombian empanada is one of those foods that every culture in Latin America claims as its own — and every version is different enough to start an argument. The Colombian coast has one of the most distinctive: a thin, crispy corn shell fried to a deep golden crunch, filled with a simple, well-seasoned mixture that lets the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves. What makes the costeño empanada stand apart is its shell. Unlike the doughy, baked versions found elsewhere, this one shatters slightly when you bite into it — a textural contrast between the crackling exterior and the warm, savory filling inside that is deeply satisfying in the way only great street food can be. Eaten standing up, in two or three bites, on a cobblestone street that has seen five centuries of history. This is Cartagena at its most essential. Flavor profile: Crispy · Savory · Golden · Warming Contains: Corn. Please inform your guide of any dietary restrictions before the tour.

Plaza Fernandez MadridColombia is one of the greatest coffee-producing nations on earth. And yet, for most of its history, the best coffee never stayed in Colombia — it was exported, roasted elsewhere, and sold to the world under someone else's name. That is changing. And El Depósito, tucked inside the Walled City of Cartagena, is part of that change. Depending on the origin of the bean that day, you may find notes of red fruit, dark chocolate, caramel, or citrus — flavors that most people never associate with coffee because they've never had it prepared this way. Your guide will walk you through what you're tasting and where it comes from, connecting the cup in your hand to the mountain region that produced it. Enjoy the colombian coffee on this food tour of Cartagena. ☕ Flavor profile: Clean · Complex · Bright · Single-origin ✅ Naturally vegan · Gluten-free ☕ Contains: Caffeine. Decaf not available at this stop.

Plaza de BolivarIf Colombian street food has a soul, it is sancocho. Not a soup, not a stew — something in between and entirely its own: a slow-cooked broth built from whatever the coast offers that day, loaded with yuca, plantain, corn, and a depth of flavor that only comes from hours of unhurried cooking over an open flame. At this stop, your guide will serve you a cup of whichever sancocho the street vendor has prepared that morning. It may be sancocho de pollo, golden and aromatic, with tender chicken falling off the bone. It may be sancocho de costilla, rich and smoky, built on a base of slow-cooked beef ribs. Or it may be sancocho de pescado, lighter and briny, with the unmistakable character of the Caribbean Sea. Whatever the version, the result is the same: a bowl that is warm, deeply satisfying, and impossible to rush. Flavor profile: Rich · Warming · Deeply savory · Slow-cooked ⚠️ Varies daily: chicken, beef, or fish. Please inform your guide of any allergies before the tour.

Barrio GetsemaniNo fruit stand in the world looks quite like a Colombian carretilla. Piled high with colors that have no business existing in nature — deep purples, electric oranges, pale greens, vivid yellows — these street carts are one of the most iconic sights in Cartagena, pushed through the cobblestone streets of the Walled City by vendors who have been working the same routes for decades. At this stop, your guide will introduce you to whatever the season and the market have delivered that day. You may try mamoncillo, a small green fruit you crack open with your teeth to reveal a slippery, sweet-sour flesh that is completely addictive. Perhaps níspero, honeyed and grainy, with a flavor somewhere between brown sugar and pear. Discover them on this Street Food Tour of Cartagena. Flavor profile: Varies · Tropical · Fresh · Seasonal ✅ Naturally vegan · Gluten-free ⚠️ Selection varies daily based on seasonal availability.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
