What we sayLanguage
SpanishGraciasthank you
Colombia stretches from the Caribbean to the Pacific and climbs through three Andean mountain ranges, which gives its kitchens a remarkable range. On the coast, coconut rice and fried fish rule; in the highlands, soups and corn-based dishes warm the cool evenings.
The coffee region, with its green hillsides and family farms, produces some of the world’s most celebrated beans. Markets overflow with fruits many visitors have never seen: lulo, guanábana, granadilla and maracuyá.
Arepas are eaten everywhere, made differently in every region, and a Colombian meal almost always ends with someone offering one more thing to try.
Insider tip from Richard
Richard Gruica, your host
Order the fruit you don't recognize. Ask what it is, then ask for it in a juice. That's how every morning should start in Colombia.
Before you go
Say it like a local.
A few words of Spanish go a long way at the table in Colombia.
