What you can expect

  • Skip the commercial tourist hubs and immerse yourself in the authentic culinary heart of Medellín. Welcome to Laureles, the vibrant, tree-lined area where true Paisas (Medellín locals) go to dine, socialise, and hang out. Often missed by travellers rushing to El Poblado, Laureles offers a genuine slice of local life, rich culture, and an incredible food scene that is nearly impossible to navigate without an insider guide.

    This experience is far more than a tasting walk—it is a deeply personal cultural journey. As you stroll through hidden local hotspots, your expert guide will share the history, secrets, and stories of Medellín, making this more educational than a standard sightseeing tour. Along the way, you will indulge in a massive, highly generous feast of traditional street foods that define Colombian comfort food.

    Together, we will sample crispy, golden buñuelos, authentic Colombian tamales, and savoury arepas de queso drizzled with sweet lechera (condensed milk). You'll crunch into perfectly fried empanadas and tackle a towering plate of Papaz Balvin—locally famous, heavily loaded French fries smothered in melted cheese and signature sauces. To keep you refreshed in the warm Medellín weather, the tour includes a creamy, tropical limonada de coco (coconut lemonade).

    With three daily departures (12:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 6:00 PM) and fully realised Standard and Vegetarian menus available, this is the ultimate, filling introduction to the flavours and soul of Medellín!
