Colombia, a country full of culinary surprises

Here, cuisine is created on an open fire, over smoke and embers. Colors, scents and sounds explode at the markets, and all the senses are at work at the same time. Products come straight from nature, from the sea or the fields, fresh, intense and full of character. Welcome to Colombia.

Colombia unites the most diverse climatic zones, landscapes and cultures in a single rhythm. People from all directions shape life - from the mountains, from the coasts, from the jungle. And in the end, it all comes down to one thing: food.

In Colombia, people don't cook for likes, they cook for people.

Partners are joining forces to bring the wonders of this country to life through its culinary diversity - this is the It's All About Food Colombia campaign.

THE COFFEE ZONE

If you know the whole way, you quickly understand how much work and experience goes into such a small coffee or cocoa bean.
Ghilbert leads us to his favorite spot with a view over the hills of the coffee zone. The perfect place for a little experiment with local ingredients.
Pork belly lands on the grill. Marinated with panela, the unrefined sugar from sugar cane, a little chili and freshly ground coffee.
BOGOTA

The historic center seems almost quiet. But the real pulse of the city beats in the markets. For example in the Paloquemao market. Fruit, vegetables, colors, smells. Everything at full throttle.
A few kilometers further on is one of the craziest places in the city: Andrés Carne de Res.
More stage than restaurant. Everywhere you look, something is flashing, glowing and hanging from the ceiling. And in the middle of it all is a kitchen that works for over 2000 guests every day.
CARTAGENA

Cartagena is located directly on the Caribbean Sea.
Warm air, relaxed people, life moves at a much slower pace here.
Of course, a lot of things revolve around food here too. Just with more ease.
In recent years, an exciting fine dining scene has developed in Cartagena. Right at the forefront: Celele by Jaime Rodríguez.

The Cocora Valley

The Cocora Valley is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the region. Wax palms tower into the sky everywhere, up to 60 meters high. Slender, surreal, almost like something from another world.

If you are already here, you should definitely visit Salento. A small, colorful town in the middle of the mountains. Wooden balconies, cafés, music from open doors.

But Ghilbert has a different goal here. He is looking for a typical dish that absolutely has to be shown off.

And then it's on the table:
Plantains from the oven. Butter. Cheese.

ProColombia is Colombia's official organization for the promotion of tourism, exports, investments and the country's international image.

Why travel to Colombia?
Because Colombia combines nature, culture and joie de vivre in a unique way: tropical beaches, rainforest, mountains, colonial cities and an extraordinary biodiversity - ProColombia even describes the country as the most biodiverse in the world per square meter. Between the Caribbean and the Pacific, a country full of rhythms, colors and unforgettable experiences unfolds. Colombia inspires with an impressive variety of landscapes, cultures, cuisine and delights. From the Barranquilla Carnival, one of the largest carnivals in the world, to Cali, the capital of salsa, the country is full of energy and passion. Colombia is also a special destination for active vacationers, with spectacular mountain roads, legendary climbs and training conditions that even inspire professionals.
There is also a fascinating archaeological heritage: in San Agustín, travelers will find the largest collection of pre-Columbian megalithic burial monuments and stone figures in South America, while in Guaviare, millennia-old rock paintings tell of an ancient connection between man and nature. On the Pacific coast, you can experience a natural wonder when humpback whales come to Colombia's warm waters, give birth to their young and teach them their first leaps. In the Amazon region, pink dolphins delight visitors, in the Andes, condors circle above spectacular high-altitude landscapes, and with more than 1,900 bird species, Colombia is a paradise for birdwatching. Whether it's the Caribbean jewel Cartagena with its historic splendor and vibrant gastronomic scene or the pulsating Medellín, known for creativity, fashion and urban change - each region of Colombia has its own character. And that's exactly what makes a trip so special: each region brings its own cuisine, its own flavors and its own traditions, complemented by an exciting bar scene and restaurants that attract attention far beyond the country's borders.
