The food tour in Cartagena is a unique opportunity to visit, explore, and taste the city through its most authentic flavors. This experience takes you to the heart of Cartagena's culinary scene: Bazurto Market, a vibrant space where tradition, food, and daily life come together.
During the tour, you'll discover Cartagena's cultural richness through local cuisine. Bazurto is more than a market—it's a living piece of history and a vital part of the city's commercial identity. Walking through its lively alleys allows you to experience the aromas, colors, and sounds that define Colombia's Caribbean culinary tradition.
You'll get to taste tropical fruits, fresh fish, seafood, and traditional dishes such as mote de queso, shrimp ceviche, and fish sancocho. Every recipe tells a story rooted in local ingredients and culinary knowledge passed down through generations.
A bilingual guide will accompany the experience, providing context and helping you connect with artisans, cooks, and vendors who bring the market to life. More than a food tour, this is a multisensory journey into Cartagena's living culture.

Unforgettable tours and experiences from our clients
See what our clients have to say about their incredible tours through Bogotá and various destinations across Colombia.
We loved this tour because it showed a side of Cartagena many visitors never see. The market was energetic and a bit chaotic, but our guide handled everything perfectly. The fruit tasting was amazing and we also tried seafood. Very authentic and memorable.
Laura K GermanyThis is not a polished tourist restaurant experience, and that is what makes it great. Bazurto is loud, busy and full of real Cartagena flavor. Our guide introduced us to vendors and explained the ingredients behind several local dishes. Come hungry and with an open mind.
Tom W United KingdomThe food tour in Bazurto Market was intense, colorful and delicious. I probably would not have gone there by myself, but with the guide it felt safe and fascinating. We tried tropical fruits, fresh seafood and learned how important the market is for local life in Cartagena.
