Itinerary
We’ll kick off the tour at Parque Principal Envigado, right in front of the Santa Gertrudis Church — a central and easy-to-spot landmark. Your guide will be there to welcome you and set the stage for the flavorful journey ahead. Before diving into the tastings, you’ll get a quick intro to the area, its local vibe, and a sneak peek at all the delicious stops coming your way.
Kick off your adventure with golden-fried empanadas — crunchy on the outside, savory on the inside. Learn how this beloved snack varies across Colombia and why it’s a staple in every household.
Next, indulge in sweet corn arepas grilled to perfection and topped with melted cheese. These soft, slightly sweet delights are a regional favorite and a must-try for any foodie.
Stroll through Envigado’s bustling local market and sample a rainbow of exotic fruits. From lulo to pitaya, discover flavors you’ve never tasted before and hear the stories behind each one.
While at the market, treat your sweet tooth to Colombian confections like bocadillo (guava paste) and panelitas. These handmade sweets are as rich in history as they are in flavor
Cool down with a refreshing glass of freshly blended juice — made from seasonal fruits sourced right from the local market. Each sip is packed with natural flavor and a taste of Colombian tradition.
Savor two beloved Colombian pastries: buñuelos — crispy, golden cheese dough balls — and pandebono, a soft, cheesy bread often hailed as one of Colombia’s finest. Warm, rich, and satisfying, these traditional treats are a true taste of local comfort food.
Dig into a hearty taste of Antioquian soul food, served with white arepas and traditional sides like hogao and ají. The shared tray features chicharrón (crispy pork belly), morcilla (blood sausage), and local chorizo — all packed with bold, savory flavor and best enjoyed alongside a cold beer or your drink of choice.
To close out the tour, we’ll step into a charming colonial house that now serves as a bar for local workers — full of character and stories. Here, you’ll raise a shot of aguardiente, Colombia’s iconic anise-flavored spirit, in a toast to the flavors, people, and traditions you’ve discovered along the way. It’s the perfect way to end the experience — bold, authentic, and unmistakably Antioquian.

About Medellín
Medellín is Colombia's spring-like city in the Andes, known for its cable cars, vibrant neighbourhoods and remarkable story of transformation.
The city fills a long Andean valley, with brick houses climbing the slopes and a climate mild enough to earn it the name City of Eternal Spring. Its metro and Metrocable cable cars link hillside communities to the centre and give sweeping views on the ride up toward the forests of Parque Arví.
