Food Tour in Santa Marta Old City

Let our guide walk you through the best food stands and its people. Then, try the Caribbean cuisine: bollo, patacón, carimañola, ceviche, coconut rice. Although those names are hardly relatable to something common or widely known, we are sure that it will be a gastronomic experience to remember. Your day will start by meeting our local guide. With him, you will go firstly to Santa Marta’s downtown and then to the public market, a place full of a wide diversity of foodstuff: fruits, herbs, vegetables, and local preparations. In here, you will have the chance to be invited by some samarios to taste their best things. Some of the food samples you may taste are typical recipes like rice and lemonades, with one of the key Caribbean ingredients: coconut. Bollo, white corn-based doughs wrapped in corn shells. Patacones, crunchy and fried smashed pieces of green plantains that are usually eaten with tomato and onion-based sauces. Carimañolas, a fried yucca stick filled with cheese. And the well-known ceviche with a Colombian twist. After this tasting experience, our driver will take you back to your hotel where you can rest.
