How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

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.

Excellent recommendations and very good service. If we ever needed something the restaurant didn't provide Fumiko jumped up to get it. We had great service at every restaurant picked and wonderful food, and she was understanding of our dietary needs.

Fumiko was amazing. I lost count of how many great places we stoped for food & drink. Delicious! She had to take extra care with us because I have a gluten allergy and my son is allergic to shellfish, peanuts & nuts. We are so grateful to her. She is a wonderful ambassador for Osaka and City Unscripted!
