Many foreigners in Colombia will see the title of this post (in spite of the ‘?’) As pure sacrilege: the humble Arepa is often treated with barely masked disdain by the growing number of foreigners visiting Colombia or calling the country home. Many Colombians might be in pretty strong disagreement as well, citing Ajiaco, Bandeja Paisa, Sancocho, […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I have become something of a coffee obsessive over the years I have lived in Colombia. That’s partly down to the excellent new coffee shops that have been springing up all over my neighbourhood, partly because it’s hard not to get obsessive when you have done as many coffee […]

However, the […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– My name is Chris, and I drink. Coffee. Quite a lot of coffee in fact. A friend of mine just opened up a lovely little restaurant and coffee bar in La Candelaria (Papaya Gourmet, since you ask), and according to him I’m just about the only person who’ll come in, […]
