About this tour

Welcome to the streets of Cartagena, where history, culture and food meet. This traditional street food tour follows the flavors of the city’s Afro-Caribbean and indigenous heritage, with recipes passed down through generations.

Walk the cobblestone streets of the old town and taste savory empanadas, fresh ceviche with lime and chili, and crispy patacones (fried plantain) with creamy dips. Sip coconut water straight from the husk, cool down with exotic fruit sorbet and enjoy live traditional music along the way.

Each dish tells a story of resilience, adaptation and celebration, from the spices of West Africa to the earthy ingredients of the indigenous peoples.
