For instance, lulo is a very aromatic fruit consumed in juices, but there are other, more exotic fruits, such as araz\u00e1, gulupa, and maracuy\u00e1 (passion fruit), granadilla, and guanabana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fruits are so popular in Colombia that you can also try them in the form of fruit salads and other preparations in almost every street market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/paloquemao-market-bogota-colombia\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"72827\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"92708\">Paloquemao market in Bogot\u00e1<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;offers a variety of fruit preparations. You can buy the &#8216;Berraquillo&#8217; (which translates strong), an alleged aphrodisiac preparation that includes raw river live crabs, boroj\u00f3 (a fruit), vitamins, tonic wine, duck embryo, milk, and honey. This exotic elixir costs about 15,000 COP (4 dollars).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other&nbsp;<strong>fruit-rich markets in different cities:<\/strong>&nbsp;Minorista (Medell\u00edn), <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/tours\/cartagena-de-indias\/bazurto-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"81753\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"92709\">Bazurto<\/a><\/strong> (Cartagena), Alameda (Cali), and El Play\u00f3n (Barranquilla).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>26# Eat Massive meals (then take a nap)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Fredonia-Coffee-tour-cathy.jpg\" alt=\"Fredonia Coffee tour cathy\" class=\"wp-image-45492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Fredonia-Coffee-tour-cathy.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Fredonia-Coffee-tour-cathy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Fredonia-Coffee-tour-cathy-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another trait of typical Colombian food is the size of the portions you are served, so make sure you open up your appetite before eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three typical examples of this. The first one is the&nbsp;<strong><em>ajiaco<\/em><\/strong>, allegedly Colombia&#8217;s national dish. This consists of a thick, savory soup made of two different kinds of potatoes, corn, some herbs, and chicken. It&#8217;s typically served with a side of rice and avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another typical Colombian soup is&nbsp;<strong><em>sancocho<\/em><\/strong>, which is made of chicken alone or a combination of pork, chicken, and cow rib, plus potato, arracacha (a kind of tuber), manioc, corn, and green plantain. It is also accompanied by rice and avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong><em>bandeja pais<\/em>a<\/strong>&nbsp;(Antioquia) consists of red kidney beans, ground beef, rice, a fried egg, a sausage, avocado, fried ripe plantain, and fried pork. Some restaurants offer the &#8216;t\u00edpico monta\u00f1ero,&#8217; a variation of the same platter that adds chicken and a piece of black pudding (a blood and rice sausage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>25# Arepas, empanadas, and patacones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/food-arepa.png\" alt=\"food arepa\" class=\"wp-image-47485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/food-arepa.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/food-arepa-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/food-arepa-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These three kinds of food can be eaten as a snack between meals or as an accompaniment to other dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arepas<\/strong>&nbsp;are corn patties that can be made with cheese in the dough or on top, which melts while they are being grilled. You can also eat them with meat, chicken, or other fillings. The beef, chicken, or shrimp can go on top as well. Among Colombia&#8217;s arepas is the &#8216;<em>arepa de huevo<\/em>,&#8217; typical of the Caribbean coast, which is fried and has an egg inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the empanadas are small pies whose pastry is made of corn or wheat flour.

It takes place between the end of February and the beginning of March. La Batalla de Flores (Battle of flowers) is the most colorful and popular parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2192 Black and White Carnival:<\/strong>\u00a0this is one of the most symbolic Colombian carnivals in the country, declared a Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2009. It is held between January 2 and 7 in Pasto, the capital of Nari\u00f1o. The origins of the festival date back to colonial times, when indigenous peoples gave thanks for their harvests. The carnival is divided into four stages: Carnavalito (Little carnival), the arrival of the Casta\u00f1eda family, the day of Blacks, and the day of Whites, in which people throw corn starch, water, and balloons at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2192 Feria de Cali:<\/strong>&nbsp;it is also known as the Sugar Cane Festival, and it&#8217;s held in Cali, the capital of Valle del Cauca Department, between December 25 and 30. The two most important events are the Sals\u00f3dromo, where couples and groups dance to salsa music, and the Superconcert, which gathers the most popular bands. Salsa lovers can also attend the World Salsa Festival (usually in November).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2192 Feria de las Flores (Flowers festival):<\/strong>\u00a0This festival takes place in Medell\u00edn. It began in 1957 as a tribute to the &#8220;silleteros&#8221;, those men who, during the colonial period, began to carry goods from one region to another instead of animals. Indeed, depending on the time of the year, oxen, mules or horses could not cross certain passages in the mountains of the Andes. Today, the silleteros no longer carry goods, but instead, and only during the feria, they carry a seat covered by splendid floral compositions, which is still very heavy. The event includes other activities, such as a parade of classic and antique cars.
