Our adventure kicks off at the iconic I Love Santa Marta sign, the perfect spot to begin this culinary journey. Here, our guide will welcome us and offer some tips before we dive into a tour rich in history, tradition, and local flavors.
The first taste comes in the form of fresh juice made from tropical fruits native to the Caribbean region. This refreshing pause marks the start of our exploration as we wander through the most iconic streets of the historic center. In the heart of Simón Bolívar Park, enveloped by lush trees and colonial architecture, we will savor a glass of fresh fruit, while our guide narrates the history of this spot, a beloved gathering place for both locals and tourists for decades.
As we move forward, we'll begin to savor flavors deeply tied to Samarian culture. We'll enjoy traditional hot dogs with onions, pass by a historic fried food restaurant with over 80 years of history, and delight in a typical city dessert.
The journey continues with a golden, soft buñuelo, a symbol of coastal festivity. Next are charcoal-grilled arepas filled with melted cheese, echoing the essence of neighborhood kitchens. To cool down, we'll pause for a classic shaved ice, freshly prepared with ice, fruity flavors, and condensed milk. For a perfect finale, we'll indulge in a well-served salchipapa, an irresistible mix of street flavor and local vitality.
