Typical Colombian ingredients such as yucca, patacones (fried plantains), and coste\u00f1o (coastal) cheese, are also very common.<\/p>\r\nWithout further ado, let\u2019s have a look at 5 traditional dishes of Santa Marta, Colombia\u2026\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-light-gray-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color: #1c8d20; font-size: 23px; text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytripcolombia.com\/lugares-turisticos-en-santa-marta-ciudad-perdida-tayrona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"PAQUETES DE VIAJE A SANTA MARTA COLOMBIA (opens in a new tab)\">TRAVEL PACKAGES TO SANTA MARTA COLOMBIA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FOOD_IN_SANTA_MARTA_TYPICAL_FOOD_FROM_SANTA_MARTA_COLOMBIA\"><\/span>FOOD IN SANTA MARTA: TYPICAL FOOD FROM SANTA MARTA COLOMBIA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<ol start=\"5\">\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\r\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweet_Yam_Dulce_de_name_a_Caribbean_dessert\"><\/span>Sweet Yam <em>Dulce de \u00f1ame<\/em> (a Caribbean dessert)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYam is a starchy edible root vegetable native to Africa and brought to America during colonial times. It is commonly used in the cuisine of the Samario\u2019s (people from Santa Marta Colombia), and this traditional Colombian dessert made using yam is particularly delicious!\r\n\r\nIt is made by combining yam with milk, coconut milk, cinnamon, and sugar.\r\n\r\nWhen visiting Santa Marta, you can find this sweet treat in most restaurants (as well as lots of street stalls).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4Tamarind_Balls_Dulce_de_Tamarindo\"><\/span><strong>4.<\/strong><strong>Tamarind Balls (Dulce de Tamarindo)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTamarind is a pod-like fruit from the tamarind tree. Native to Africa, this exotic fruit now grows in tropical climates all over the world. It has a date-like texture and a delicious flavor profile with a unique mix of sweet and acidic. The fruit is a culinary staple in the Caribbean, and tamarind balls are a popular dessert all along the Colombian Caribbean coast.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"278\" height=\"300\" class=\"wp-image-8914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mytripcolombia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Bolas-o-dulce-de-tamarindo-comida-de-Santa-Marta-278x300.jpg\" alt=\"Taza con dulce de tamarindo, comida de Santa Marta Colombia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mytripcolombia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Bolas-o-dulce-de-tamarindo-comida-de-Santa-Marta-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.mytripcolombia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Bolas-o-dulce-de-tamarindo-comida-de-Santa-Marta.jpg 592w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/figure>\r\nThese sweet and sour bitesize treats are made by rolling fresh tamarind pulp into balls and then dusting them with sugar.

Each region has its own unique recipe, and in Santa Marta, a typical sancocho is made with fish (instead of meat or chicken).

The puree is combined with fried onion, garlic, paprika, and tomato, and served with grated coste\u00f1o cheese on top.

You won\u2019t want to miss them off your travel list!\r\n<h6 class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\" style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Lost_City_Ciudad_Perdida_Colombia\"><\/span><strong>The Lost City: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytripcolombia.com\/tour\/santa-marta-ciudad-perdida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" Ciudad Perdida Colombia (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a0Ciudad Perdida Colombia<\/a><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\r\nThe first is the Lost City of the ancient Tayrona civilization. First built around 800AD (some 650 years before Peru\u2019s Machu Picchu), this ancient city is hidden deep in Colombia\u2019s jungle. Impossible to access by car, you will have to trek your way to the ruins. It is therefore essential that you bring your own food with you! The area is protected from development as it belongs to an indigenous community &#8211; shops and restaurants are scarce.\r\n<h6 class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\" style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tayrona_National_Park_Parque_Tayrona_Colombia\"><\/span><strong>Tayrona National Park: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytripcolombia.com\/tour\/santa-marta-tayrona-4-dias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" Parque Tayrona Colombia (opens in a new tab)\">Parque Tayrona Colombia<\/a><\/strong>.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\r\nThe second destination is Tayrona National Park. A protected area full of lush palm tree forests and beautiful beaches, this national park is by far one of the best places to visit in Colombia. Although it is a popular tourist spot, shops and restaurants are also few and far between. If you are lucky, you can probably find a couple of restaurants serving some of the typical Colombian food mentioned above. But the park is really meant for adventuring, so we recommend bringing packaged food, fruit (which can be difficult to find inside), and water (not in plastic bottles as the park practices sustainable tourism).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-light-gray-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color: #1d911f; font-size: 23px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytripcolombia.com\/tour\/santa-marta-tayrona-ciudad-perdida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"VIAJE A SANTA MARTA COLOMBIA, CIUDAD PERDIDA Y EL PARQUE TAYRONA (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>TRAVEL TO SANTA MARTA, THE LOST CITY, &amp; TAYRONA PARK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size: 17px;\">If you only get to visit this magical city for one day, we recommend dining in a restaurant that serves Colombian Caribbean food.
