¡Este Street Food Tour por Santa Marta fue una pasada! Probé delicias locales que jamás habría descubierto por mi cuenta, y la guía hizo que cada bocado fuera una experiencia. Las arepas y los jugos frescos están brutales. El ambiente relajado y la compañía de otros viajeros hicieron todo perfecto. Lo super recomiendo si quieres conocer la cultura samaria con el mejor sabor posible. De lo mejor que hice en Colombia.
