Overview

- 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.

2. Doña Lechona
The Wrapped Tradition (Tamal Antioqueño) Dive deep into regional history with a traditional Colombian tamal.

It’s a flavor combination that completely surprises and delights international travelers.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Vertix led
The Golden Standard (Empanada de Carne) You haven't been to Medellín until you've eaten a proper street empanada.

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.
