Description 

If you are passionate about gastronomy and love discovering the traditional dishes and flavors of a new culture, then you cannot miss this tour. A culinary journey through the incredible city of Santa Marta where each stop has a unique story to tell, in addition, you will delight your senses with authentic local food. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the true essence of Samarian gastronomy!

You’ll start this tour by meeting one of our professional tour guides at your accommodation. A private vehicle will take you to Casa Marina which is where the gastronomic experience begins. There you can enjoy the showroom, take a picture in our famous mural, and taste a delicious cup of coffee from the Sierra Nevada Mountain range to power up and start the activity.

We will depart for our first gastronomic destination, which has been serving the Samarian community and visitors for more than 49 years. The dish at this place is renowned “arepa de huevo” known throughout Colombia as one of the most popular street food dishes, but it has an unbeatable flavor with its Samarian ingredients and seal. Here we will also discover which drink has been used for a long time to accompany this delicious food.

Our next stop will be in the Santa Marta Market where we can observe the daily life of the merchants, learn a bit about the history and how the place was restored and see the transformation process of the hundreds of families who work in the heart of the city. This place has become a “must see” for visitors who wish to experience a proper food market and interact with the local community. Here we will taste a good fish soup and learn how it is prepared.

As we love to enjoy new things, we will go to a place where we will taste a delicious dish based on patacón and fish, learn how this culinary recipe is prepared, and learn more about the Samarian gastronomic traditions. We will walk around the market, and the guide will provide information about the local products, and harvest seasons. You’ll be able to take pictures wherever you wish as well as purchase the local delicacies that you like the most.
