What you’ll do
Eat your way through sizzling Cartagena — the unofficial culinary capital of Colombia — one bite of hearty goodness at a time, like cooling off on a popular plaza with a bite of exotically sweet coconut sold by Palenquera women or crunching into a deep-fried egg-filled empanada con huevo that locals eat on the go. See which twist Cartagena puts on buttery Colombian staple arepas but leave room for deep-fried (we see a trend!) dishes fritanga, which includes cheese balls and pig's skin, if you're feeling adventurous. Next, complement your portside trip with a helping of local-style ceviche in artsy barrio Getsemani, or dart to a nearby hotspot for a mouthful of coastal red snapper, generously poured champagne cola refajo, and sparkling harbor views.
