What you’ll do
Take a bite out of the melting pot of metropolitan Medellín one new flavor at a time, like digging into the food of the people bandeja paisa, or try hearty staple stew-like sancocho (or even tripe soup if you’re feeling brave!). Get your sugar fix from a crispy corn pancake-like arepas, topped with a good ol' chunk of cheese, and cool down from the Colombian heat with fantastically frothy Limonada de Coco or a bite of fresh tropical fruit from a downtown market. Hmmm, do we smell deep-fried empanadas? Spicy aji salsa would go excellent with that and sip it down with freshly squeezed orange juice from a street stall. End the day in the heart of the lush Botanical Garden, where a minimalist villa, hearty bean casserole, and a glass of refreshing cola-like refajo await.
