Food & Drink

Bolivian cuisine is a captivating journey through a world of flavours and influences, enticing any globetrotter with its rich and diverse offerings. This culinary adventure is a delightful fusion of indigenous staples like quinoa, potatoes, and corn, harmoniously blended with Spanish influences. The savoury salteñas, akin to empanadas, offer a quick and delicious introduction to Bolivian street food. The fiery llajwa sauce adds a burst of spice to grilled meats and hearty potatoes. The beloved silpancho showcases the European culinary influence with its breaded and fried beef cutlet. For a taste of high-altitude authenticity, try chuño, freeze-dried potatoes featured in traditional soups and stews.

Bolivia's beverage offerings are equally intriguing. The fermented corn drink chicha and the comforting hot api flavoured with spices like cinnamon and clove provide a unique and authentic taste of Bolivia. And don't miss the opportunity to explore the emerging Bolivian wine scene in Tarija, home to fine wines like Singani and Tarija wine.
