Discover the real flavors of Colombia with our Morning Food Tour in Medellin.

This is not a typical tourist food tour. Our Morning Food Tour in Medellin takes you away from the busy tourist areas.

We explore traditional neighborhoods, local markets, food stands, and places where Colombians actually eat.

Unlike many food tours, our Morning Food Tour in Medellin takes place primarily in non-touristy areas.

This is one of the biggest differences between our experience and other food tours in Medellin.

We believe the best way to understand Colombian food is to eat where locals eat.

Notice:

Not recommended for vegans or vegetarians.

Morning Food Tour in Medellin Description:

Our Morning Food Tour in Medellin starts with a delicious exotic fruit tasting. We visit a traditional food market that is rarely visited by tourists.

Here, you can discover around 7 to 10 exotic Colombian fruits. The selection depends on the harvest season.

Your guide will introduce you to the different flavors, textures, and origins of these amazing fruits.

This first stop makes our Morning Food Tour in Medellin a delicious introduction to Colombia's incredible fruit diversity.

After exploring the market, we drive about 20 minutes to Sabaneta. This colorful town offers a much more local experience.

Amazing atmosphere

Our Morning Food Tour in Medellin continues through traditional food stands and local establishments.

Explore a beautiful genuine town:

These are places that most visitors would never find on their own. They are part of everyday life in the local community.

You will taste some of Antioquia's most beloved traditional foods. Your guide will also explain their history and cultural importance.

First, try a delicious arepa de chocolo. This sweet corn arepa is different from the traditional white arepa.

Eating Arepa de chocolo

Some of our guests find the Chocolo Arepa similar to the corn bread, let's see what you think when you try it.

Next, enjoy a freshly made buñuelo. This crispy Colombian cheese snack is a favorite among locals.

Our Buñuelo is made with cheese and the surface is usually crunchy, very common throughout the year but specially on christmas.

Read more about the place and buñuelo here.

Our Morning Food Tour in Medellin also includes a traditional empanada. These delicious snacks are filled with meat and potatoes.

We normally eat them with “salsa rosada” (pink sauce, a combination between mayonnaise and ketchup) or “ají”, a local spicy sauce.

Let's spice the things up a bit!!

What kind of food tour in Medellin would be this one if you don't get to try what we drink at parties and celebrations?

Our next stop will be to try a sip of Aguardiente our traditional alcohol made from sugar cane and anise seeds.

Since colonial times the Aguardiente has been part of our tradition and celebrations.

Enjoying of our national liquor Aguardiente in a traditional local place

Medellin’s own “Aguardiente Antioqueño” has won several awards thanks to its quality and taste

That’s why we feel confident that you are going to like it.

To make this drinking experience even more exciting you will try it in a place full of customary taverns in Medellin, where the Aguardiente has been traditionally drunk: Fondas Paisas.

After exploring Sabaneta, we leave the town and head toward a peaceful traditional farm.

Here, you will enjoy the final part of our Morning Food Tour in Medellin.

Delicious Fiambre at a Coffee Farm

The farm offers beautiful views and a relaxed countryside atmosphere.

A local family welcomes you and prepares a traditional Colombian meal.

Most of this food is colombian recipies therefore you don't find it in regular restaurants, also nothing is better than home-made food, right?

Enjoy a delicious traditional home-made lunch

This delicious traditional meal contains pork and beef but if you cannot eat meat let us know and we'll make the arrangements.

To drink we'll give you a delicious fresh lemonade harvested in the farm and of a variety called tangerine- lemon mixed with sugar cane.

To finish our Morning Food Tour in Medellin, enjoy a traditional Colombian dessert and a warm coffee.
