Cartagena Food Adventure: 8+ Dishes with Sherpa Food Tours

A tale of two Cartagenas in one culinary experience: Street food and street art of Getsemaní, then proper sit-down stops inside the Walled City for Fusion Caribbean cuisine; 10+ dishes & drinks feast.

Begin your culinary journey in Getsemaní, the city at its most alive. Street art covers the walls with stories of resistance and reinvention, vendors work the same corners they have for decades, and the energy is unmatched anywhere else in the city.

Taste authentic street food, starting with Colombian coffee, then visit a family-run fruit stand for tropical flavors most visitors never find. Try a classic arepa de huevo, hot from the pan, and experience the raw, unfiltered side of the city.

Then, cross into the Ciudad Amurallada, the Walled City, and feel the mood shift completely. Admire balconies dripping with flowers, clean stone streets, and colonial elegance behind every doorway.

Stop for warm pan de bono, and sit down at two standout local restaurants to try dishes that define classic and modern Cartagenero cooking: fresh ceviche, arroz con coco, the iconic posta cartagenera, quesadilla de langostinos, and empanadas. A unique culinary style known as Fusion Caribbean Cuisine.

Along the way, between the two worlds, taste exotic local drinks like jugo de corozo and limonada de coco, the kind of flavors you only find on the Colombian coast.
