Colombian cooking

In the Eje Cafetero, a typical traditional meal consists of very tasteful beans, baked pork rind, corn cookies, a dish of yellow rice and fresh banana slices. Other typical dishes are casseroles and numerous different kinds of pork saugages.

In the alleys and backstreets of the region’s cities and villages you will find plenty of traditional restaurants serving these dishes. If you’re in the Eje Cafetero, don’t miss the opportunity to try Santa Rosa’s renowned chrorizo sausages, the delicious coffee and ‘agua panelo’ (a sort of sugar water, served with a piece of cheese).
