EnglishWhat you'll do
Prepare to uncover the innovative soul of the Aburrá Valley on our Medellín El Poblado Food Tour. We’ll move beyond the modern skyline to explore the lush, tropical streets of the city’s oldest neighborhood, where a vibrant mix of Paisa resilience and mountain culinary tradition awaits. From hidden local gems to the bustling heart of the social scene, you’ll discover why Medellín is the true pulse of Colombia’s transformation, built on the foundations of rich volcanic soil and the legendary hospitality of the Antioquian people.
Your journey begins at the historic Parque del Poblado, the site where the city was founded in 1616. Here, in the shadow of the traditional Parroquia de San José, we’ll start our adventure with golden Empanadas de carne con papa, perfectly paired with crunchy Patacones con queso. As we walk through the leaf-lined avenues, your expert guide will weave stories of the city’s evolution from a small colonial outpost to the global capital of innovation.
The history comes alive as we move toward the vibrant heart of the district. We’ll sit down to experience the "power" of the Bandeja Paisa, the ultimate symbol of regional heritage, followed by a soul-warming bowl of Mondongo, a hearty tripe soup that is a true staple of Sunday family gatherings. Along the way, you’ll learn the secrets of the Paisa "Berraco" spirit, seeing how the community’s strength is reflected in its robust and generous gastronomy.
The adventure continues through the trendy corridors of Provenza and Manila. We’ll treat our sweet tooth to warm, pillowy Buñuelos filled with guava and the irresistible Arepa de Chócolo con Cuajada, a sweet corn pancake topped with fresh local cheese. We’ll explore the contrast of Medellín’s traditional past and its cosmopolitan future, stopping to savor the world’s finest Café Colombiano and and finally uncover our delicious Secret Dish, a recipe that embodies the warmth and vibrant energy of the Medellín people
For those looking to elevate their journey, our Drink Upgrade offers a true taste of Colombian "Alegría." You’ll enjoy a refreshing Jericó, a vibrant cocktail crafted from zesty maracuyá (passion fruit), followed by a crisp, cold Club Colombia, the country’s premier craft-style lager. To top it off, you'll savor a Cubanito with a local twist, blending iconic Colombian Aguardiente with a medley of fresh, native tropical fruits. It’s the perfect way to toast to the incredible bounty that thrives in the "City of Eternal Spring."We’ll wrap up our experience near the lush creeks of the valley . Traveling with a group? We also offer private tour options tailored to your party’s needs. Come hungry for history, leave with the soul of a local!

What if it rains or I change my plans?
Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable Medellin. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.
Can I pay the tour in cash?
You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.
Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?
The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.

Many of our tours are not wheelchair or stroller accessible. We recommend contacting us before booking to discuss this specific tour and accessibility options.
