Gastronomy

Colombian cuisine is comprised of the culinary traditions of the six main regions of Colombia – the Caribbean, Pacific, Orinoco, Amazon, Andean, and Insular regions. It varies from region to region and can best be described as a mix of native Colombian, Spanish, and African influences. In some parts of Colombia, you can find a distinct Arab influence as well.

The food in Colombia is strongly influenced by local ingredients and the cultural traditions of its ethnic groups, but common ingredients include rice, maize, potato, cassava, and various legumes. Beef, chicken, pork, and goat are commonly consumed proteins as are different types of fish and seafood.

Barranquilla Carnival

Barranquilla’s carnival is the biggest celebration of folklore in all Colombia and one of the world’s largest carnivals, with more than a hundred years of tradition. The festivities run for four days and Colombians and visitors alike party in the streets in a colorful celebration of Colombian culture. UNESCO declared the Barranquilla Carnival a Masterpiece of Humanity’s Intangible and Oral Heritage in 2003 and the carnival was proclaimed a Cultural Masterpiece by the Colombian government. Its slogan is “Quien lo vive es quien lo goza (He who lives it, enjoys it).

Cartagena de Indias

Colombia’s Caribbean come colonial gem is a mass of coral-stone forts and crumbling stuccoed homes, all strung along the country’s finest stretch of coastline. The Old Town is the piece de resistance for sure; a place where labyrinthine alleys weave and turn past gorgeous Baroque mansions and Spanish churches burst onto sunny plazas where babbling fountains mirror the colours of the blooming flower baskets on the nearby palazzo.

And then there’s the swish side of town: Bocagrande. Here, Gucci-bearing, bikini-clad folk rollerblade along the beachfronts, sip pina coladas in the Carib sun and tan themselves between the lines of swaying palm trees.
