Traditional Sweet Dishes
Arequipe
Arequipe is made by slowly caramelizing milk and sugar until it becomes a thick, spoonable golden spread, and many families pass down secret slow-cooking times to perfect its texture and flavor.
Obleas
Obleas are thin wafer sandwiches traditionally filled with arequipe or bocadillo, and street vendors often press them fresh so you can hear and smell them as they are made.
Bocadillo
Bocadillo is a dense, bright red guava paste typically wrapped in banana leaves, and it is famously paired with salty white cheese for a perfect sweet-and-salty bite.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Ajiaco
Ajiaco is a Bogotá chicken and potato soup that uses three kinds of potatoes and the unique herb guasca, and locals add capers, cream and avocado at the table to personalize each bowl.
Empanadas
Bogotá empanadas are made with crunchy corn dough and usually stuffed with seasoned beef or potato, and people commonly dip them in spicy ají sauce for an extra kick.
Tamal
The Colombian tamal is a hearty corn dough parcel filled with meat, vegetables and spices, wrapped in banana leaves and often enjoyed on weekend mornings with hot chocolate.
Traditional Beverages
Coffee
Colombia grows some of the world’s most prized high-altitude Arabica coffee, and in Bogotá people often drink a strong, black tinto as a daily social ritual.
Aguardiente
Aguardiente is an anise-flavored spirit distilled from sugar cane, its bright sweet-and-herbal taste fuels many Colombian festivals and it is commonly shared in rhythmic toasts.
Chicha
Chicha is a traditional fermented corn drink with pre-Columbian roots, it was once suppressed during colonial times and today is experiencing a revival at cultural events and indigenous celebrations.

Buy a reusable TransMilenio card at a station kiosk and load cash, it saves time and is cheaper than single-ride fares.
Amazing street art and live music, locals were welcoming. Not as expensive as I feared but tourist spots jack prices.
High altitude hits you, mornings are chilly even in summer. Bring layers and pace yourself for the hills.
Weekends in La Candelaria are charming but crowded, pick a weekday morning to explore the museums in peace.
One week gave me time for museums, a market day and a hike up Monserrate, two days felt too rushed.
Getting there
From El Dorado use authorized taxis or app taxis; TransMilenio+taxi is often fastest in traffic.
