Tropical Fruit Juice

Posted in Travels at 1:33 pm by Leopoldo

Monday, June 30, 2003 – Santa Marta

We spent the day at another populous beach skin diving. This time Playa Blanca we were able to reach by taking a boat directly from the beachfront where we are staying. Once again there were throngs of people suffocating the beach as all the folk from Bogotá and other cities enjoyed their last day of vacation.
Today I was able to round off my tour of delicious tropical fruit juices. On this trip I have had opportunity to enjoy Mora[1], Guanabana, Lulo, Maracuya, Nisperes, Zapote and of course fresh Orange Juice.

    I could relate some of my personal experiences and tastes but you will do much better with some web searches. Just go to http://www.google.com and search for “Colombia Food” and see what you get. I took a look at the results and found a few pages that are good introductions:
    http://www.iexplore.com/dmap/Colombia/Dining
    Has an excellent article that mentions a lot of the typical dishes.
    http://www.colombiatimes.com/s/colombia/food_index.html
    and
    http://www.bogota-dc.com/food/bog-rec.htm
    have recipes
    http://gosouthamerica.about.com/cs/colombia/a/CulrecipeCol.htm
    has links to other sites

    You can also try other searches. I tried “Colombia Fruit” and did not get anything terribly interesting…
