Experience Details

- The Laureles Advantage: Skip the commercial tourist bubble of El Poblado. We take you into Laureles—voted one of the world's coolest neighborhoods—where real Paisas actually live and eat.

- A Full, Belly-Filling Meal: No micro-bites or tiny samples here. This immersive culinary journey features 6 massive local staples—from traditional plantain-leaf tamales to modern, pop-culture-infused Papas Balvin. It completely replaces a major meal.

- Flat, Shaded, & Walkable: Medellín has steep hills, but Laureles is perfectly flat, tree-lined, and easy to navigate. It’s an incredibly comfortable, relaxed summer walk.

- Culture Beyond the Plate: Led by an expert English-speaking local guide, you’ll discover how neighborhood food spots played a central role in Medellín’s inspiring urban transformation.

What You’ll Experience

MOR DISCOS

The Iconic Crunch (Buñuelos) Kick off your culinary adventure at a legendary neighborhood bakery. You'll taste a freshly fried buñuelo—a crispy, golden, savory-sweet dough ball made with local cheese. It's the ultimate Colombian comfort food and pairs perfectly with a morning breeze.

15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Doña Lechona

The Wrapped Tradition (Tamal Antioqueño) Dive deep into regional history with a traditional Colombian tamal. Slow-cooked for hours inside a plantain leaf, this rich corn dough is packed with meats and vegetables, absorbing incredible smoky flavors. It’s a hearty masterpiece usually reserved for family Sundays.

20 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Famosa arepa de chócolo

The Sweet & Savory Twist (Arepa de Queso con Lechera) Time for a sweet and savory revelation. We'll try a thick, grilled sweet-corn arepa oozing with melted local cheese and drizzled with lechera (sweetened condensed milk). It’s a flavor combination that completely surprises and delights international travelers.

20 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Vertix led

The Golden Standard (Empanada de Carne) You haven't been to Medellín until you've eaten a proper street empanada. We’ll stop at a local favorite for a piping hot, crispy corn-crust empanada stuffed with perfectly seasoned beef and potatoes. Top it with fresh home-made ají (local salsa) for the perfect kick.

15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

I Love Papas Belgas

The Modern Comfort (Papas Balvin) Named after Medellín’s own global superstar, this stop brings a modern, loaded twist to the street food scene. Dig into a mountain of crispy french fries loaded with melted cheese, crispy bacon, rich sour cream, and local sauces. It’s a total crowd-pleaser.

20 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Jugos Milos del Estadio

The Tropical Refreshment (Limonada de Coco) Wash it all down with Colombia’s favorite liquid luxury: a freshly blended limonada de coco. Creamy coconut milk meets tart lime juice and ice for an ultra-refreshing, velvety drink that will make you instantly fall in love with tropical Colombian summers.
