Estación metro Estadio

10m

We will be waiting for you by the exit of the metro station to begin your tour.

MI BUÑUELO 7

15m

The Sweet Little Cloud with a Crunch Imagine a doughnut hole that went on vacation — lighter, crispier, and with a hint of Latin flair. That’s the buñuelo. Golden brown, slightly sweet, and perfectly airy inside, it’s the kind of treat you bite into and instantly wonder, Where has this been all my life? Whether you’ve never heard of it or you’ve been dreaming of it since your last trip abroad, this is a bite-sized piece of joy you’ll want seconds of.

Doña Lechona

20m

A Flavor-Packed Present You Get to Unwrap Colombian tamales aren’t just food — they’re an experience. Picture tender corn dough mixed with seasoned meats, vegetables, and spices, all wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed to perfection. As you peel back the leaf, the aroma hits first — warm, savory, and mouthwatering. Every bite is a cozy mix of flavors and textures that feels like home cooking, even if it’s your first time trying it.

Famosa arepa de chócolo

20m

Sweet, Cheesy, and Completely Addictive This Colombian favorite is the ultimate sweet-meets-savory treat. A warm, golden arepa is stuffed with gooey melted cheese, then drizzled with silky condensed milk (lechera) for a creamy, caramel-like finish. It’s crispy at the edges, soft in the middle, and so indulgent you’ll wonder why you haven’t been eating your cheese with condensed milk all along.

Vertix led

15m

Crispy Pockets of Pure Happiness Golden and crunchy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside — empanadas are Latin America’s answer to the perfect hand-held snack. Each one is stuffed with a savory mix of meat, potatoes, or veggies, then fried until irresistibly crisp. One bite delivers comfort, spice, and that satisfying crunch that keeps you reaching for just one more.

I Love Papas Belgas

20m

Fries Turned into a Rockstar Snack These aren’t your average fries — they’re Papas de Balvin, crispy Belgian-style fries piled high with gooey cheese, zesty sauces, and bold toppings. Each bite is crunchy, cheesy, and full of flavor, the kind of over-the-top street food that feels like a party in a paper cone.

Jugos Milos del Estadio

20m

The Tropical Drink You’ll Fall in Love With Creamy, icy, and refreshingly tangy, limonada de coco is Colombia’s ultimate beachside drink. Fresh lime juice blends with smooth coconut cream and a touch of sweetness, creating a frosty, tropical escape in a glass. One sip and you’re instantly on vacation — no matter where you are.
